Need some help with my timing curve.

I did install an Fbo limiter plate as well, I currently have it set to 18, so 16+18=34. Would you recommend setting it to 12-14 instead for a total of 30-32?

Now, to throw a wrench in all of this… I do have speedmaster heads and a bigger cam that I’ll be installing hopefully this year sometime, but I can always recurve it again at that point

I don’t think 34 will make any more power than 29-30 it will just make it more prone to detonation. But I also wouldn’t move too far away from 16 initial. So it’s hard to tell you what to do with the FBO plate if those are your only options. I make my timing what I want it to be. I don’t settle on what FBO or mopar or MSD or anyone else give me. If that involves welding and grinding on the plate then that’s what I do. If you’re changing the program up with heads/cam ect I would definitely tune that combo independently of this one. The heads will likely want a different curve and they definitely will want a different total amount from what I’ve read. I haven't used those heads.
