I think those are good specs, I would still start with 8 initial and 34
total until I had it at a professional dyno shop for a few runs. They can
help you find the best power without detonation. Andy's is a little
agressive but it sounds well matched to your motor. They can also let you
know where to go with your fuel and that can really help with power. It's
a shame to spend good money on a nice motor and not finish it on the
chassis dyno.
