initial is around 8 to 10 BTDC i think its around 34% at 3000 rpm.

I was thinking the heat was a pump issue, as the thermostat opens at 165. rad temp is around 167 blaock at thermostat is 213 or so.
So if everything is OK for a more aggressive cam what is recommended. and yes i have a slight just off idle bog.it feels like its still pulling strong at 5500 rpm. I did pur arp bolts in he caps and the asembly is balanced. i also have springs that are good up to 6500.
