You're getting into the area where a bog or a backfire might happen when pulling away from a stop. It might be worthwhile to restrict the centrifugal advance a little and make up the difference with initial. I used to do that on small block Chevy hotrods with moderately radical cam timing- - - -reduce the centrifugal advance about 5-8 degrees by limiting the travel of the weights, and add the same amount to the initial setting for good throttle response. Total timing doesn't change, it just gets rearranged as to where it enters the advance curve. Jerry
