BTW I am running the Crane roller:
crane 529721
276/284 seat to seat
214/222 .050
.562/.586 lift
111 center
This engine was set more as a tq engine and I have thus been quite happy with it. Very strong down low.
It has been helpful that the ignition I am using is easily tunable. I am using the Electromotive XDI. The controller runs under my console:
The initial timing knob sets the timing between 400 and 1000 rpm with a range of 0-30 degrees.
The 3000 knob sets the amount added linearly from 1000-3000 rpm
The 8,000 knob sets the amount added or subtracted from 3,000 to 8,000 rpm +/- 12.
The last knob is an RPM limiter.
I think several other types of ignition do this as well but it is real easy to fine tune.
Here is the coil packs on the rear firewall:
