Total timing at 11lbs ended up at 14 deg in the maps. (around 12 deg actually timing).
I would have added more timing, but without a dyno & controlled conditions I didnt want to take any risks
For the amount of timing the thing is running, it moves
OK.. this sounds safe and it where I think I want to be. To many people dealing with problems on the D's with too much timing.
Good call on keeping it safe until a dyno can let you know if it's even worth getting aggressive. Too many H-T stories on BHG on D's... Too many people changing gaskets cause they just have to run 20* -- I just don't get it or so everyone says...
