Now try to figure a "Vari-Cam " into the mix.I still have that in a box up in the attic.
I was running 22 initial until I needed to pass emissions, at which point I backed it down to 18. My ignition system backs off on timing during startup cranking, I believe 5 degrees, so starting (with a small offset drive starter) is not a problem. It had been as high as 24 degrees initial and I remember responsiveness was incredible, too good. I could never get a clean (quiet) start from a standstill no matter how lightly I pressed the accelerator.

If the above helps, I'm glad...more about my engine: 10.6:1 with aluminum heads.

Anyway, the reason I'm chiming in here is I'm wondering if that vari-cam is for sale. If so I'd be interested. Thanks.
