I think I'll try retarding the timing a bit and see if it doesn't respond better. I noticed the RPM were in camshaft #'s. BTW, there is a thread going about 8mm stud torque spec's , It seems I overtightened mine I troqured them to 22-24 ft lbs as for the 10mm studs, I still haven't put any miles on the engine, should I drive it this way or try loosen them first and torque them to 18 lb ft. as mentioned?
