Oh well with aluminum heads it's all good, slap it together and hammer down. My notes are stuck in post #1, and #8 where aluminum wasn't mentioned.
No , you are good to go. Aluminum will give you a half point easy, maybe even a full point. Just make sure the cooling system runs rock steady. Once you got that bugged out, try to run as hot a stat as you can find/dare. Aluminum heads with a tight quench design like yours, seldom need or want more than 32* timing, so sneak up on it. Don't be afraid to run dual 3inchers all the way. That engine is looking to be a pretty nice set-up. You are back to towing a 53 footer! Enjoy it.
