I don't think you can find that with just seat of the pants driving. And damage can occur if you get it wrong - so it's more than just a little important.

Yeah I get it. Joe said the same thing when he was dyno tuning my motor. 32.5* total is what he came up with. Don't know or remember exactly how he came to that conclusion but we made over 20 pulls and a few changes and he would pull spark plugs and inspect them with some sort of spark plug magnifying scope gismo.
I'm trying to schedule Joe for a chassis dyno tune at Sonoma the Friday before the event since I put another distributor in and the springs on the original distributor don't look the same as the ones I'm using now.
