I had the initial timing at 14* BTDC. Bumped it up to 16* and it seemed to like that the most of other things I tried. I've go the idle rpm set around 730-750. I played with the mixture screws some and it seems to like the factory settings (or there about) the best. Went for another 15min break in run and now I get a solid 13 in hg whereas it had been 11-12 in hg before. So two of about 4 short break in runs for the engine now in the books. Maybe do another Thursday and the final one Saturday before putting it out on the interstate.

So far, I love this thing. The power is unreal and quite a bit more than anything I've ever driven. This is the first engine I've ever built. Kind of nerve wracking but still a lot of fun.
