We wound up installing it six degrees retarded as you suggested. My original plan was to build the engine "bone stock" but, I decided to shelf the 7115 crank and original rods and went with really nice pieces from Eagle. I also upped the compression with Ross .030 over pistons to about 11.6:1 The rotating assembly was balanced and we did a little pocket porting on the heads and triple cut the valves. I'm stuck runing 110 Sunoco but she's a real wolf! Thanks again, Ed
