So, what is the common consensus for the OP - 32 or 34 degrees total ?

I ran 34 deg for several years (hard). 9.5:1 with iron heads and never ever had an issue. Jetting was even slightly on the lean side and was with MR43t’s and stock TB ignition. Just a FYI.

For a cam just run the 741 or 731. What exhaust? I may have missed that...
