I've got nothin' but love for you, Andy. You are a pro. Everything you turn out looks sleek.

Getting rid of the distributor seems to be a step in the right direction. Crane Cams' video showed their optical trigger distributor as being more accurate, while still having something like plus/minus two degrees while the next best was something like twice that much. That really woke me up. Even the crank trigger is about accurate for the first pair of cylinders and then it gets progressively worse because of crankshaft torsion. Valve timing is the same way with the last two cylinders having their opening and closing events different than the first two cylinders. And of course, everything in between. NASCAR engine builders were working with individual cylinder stuff 10 or more years ago, changing timing on each individual cylinder to optimize power output. They were chasing horsepower changes I'd consider to be in the testing error.
