Thanks for the input and ideas. I swear I learn more and more every time I get on this site.

Gee you beat me to it as i was reading down the thread i was hoping some one would say keep bumping the timing up. Honestly the intake manifold has jack squat effect on low end. The only time you going to run into an issue is if you were running a tunnel ram even then you can do it but only if you like changing your spark plugs often and cranking black smoke on startup. Granted its not a setup i would suggest.
Bump up your timing even more since you dont know what cam is in the beast i suggest using this method. I could type it but this link is close enough. http://automotivemileposts.com/garage/v2n8.html
