My experience with the slant, is they don't like the same amount of timing as small blocks (12/34)
If you are experiencing pinging, I believe you are using to much timming. Lowering the expectations of the thing will produce a better running motor.
I agree. I've read over and over slants don't like a ton of total timing. I really wanted to try about 20 initial and 30-32 total, but the plate is not offering that, even though it's marked to give those results. I have an email in to Don so we'll see what he says.
