having a little issue...

I ran 32-34* total in my slant with best results, it's all relative to the combo.
Very true, notice I said "most".
I wondered about the timing #'s too, but assumed he welded up the slot yet left the factory springs in.

If he welded the slots, then it would not be the "stock" curve. With a performance modified slant, it is almost mandatory to weld the slots and run more initial, and limit total advance,
