34 degrees before top dead center is usually about the upper limit for total timing on most naturally aspirated engines with some exceptions.

not now, intercooler would be nice but its expensive - methanol injection would be awsome but I'm already near the stock piston / rod hp limit and Im concerned about running that much timing and putting my motor in the hands of a $5 nozzle and $40 pump
