This smooth idle engine went on to run 10.30s @ 3720 pounds in less than sea level conditions. Never under estimate a peanut port head (236) or most Chevrolet production parts, as they can deliver.

And you ran pop top pistons to squish the chamber super tight (piston pic is blurry)

How much timing did it allow at peak power
