Alright. I've done some digging. And for the interim I am going to try to get my setup to here:
37-38* of total advance
20* of mechanical starting ~1100, all in ~2500
17-18* static advance, which is basically where I am today, but slightly more aggressive
I am going to try to limit my vacuum advance to 12* since I don't have an EGR
Cam: unknown, assume stock
CR: unknown, assume stock but slightly worse
Granted, this probably isn't perfect but I think it will give me just a touch more uuumph. For those watching from home, I'm following the guidelines here:

The numbers I'm going with are coming from a number of other locations but I thought these links above were pretty decent for a part-time weekend grease monkey. Not knowing what my internals are is leading me to extrapolate data from others, but basically all in my head right now. Maybe this week I'll spend some quality time with matlab and try to truly narrow things down with some fancyarse plots.
I'm down with
wsa111 and
FalconSedanDelivery doing their thing. And will be hitting them up for a proper curve when the heavy work needs to get done. If I can get about 1 sigma of what they bring to the table I'll call it a win for now.
Reading ain't doing, you can't replace real experience.
