Ron,
When I retarded the timing my idle rpm didn't change much so I never raised the idle speed and therefor uncovered the transfer slot. I agree and was originally taught for racing purposes more timing at idle is better but don't you agree for the street you will need a curve in order to prevent detonation during normal driving on the street.

Ed,
that depends on if fuel quality. I ASSumed since it was your race engine that you were running race fuel. Are you running street fuel?
