Scott, I have enjoyed your info.  Question...does LSE believe a staggered spark timing to be beneficial for power/economy?  I was going to test this at GM but never had the chance.  My intuition said any benefit real or imagined would be hard to measure, but as I said...I was not able to test.
 
"Scott said:The timing checks indicated a 3 degree retard (instead of LSE's 5 degree recommendation)."
 
I'm willing to bet at a 5 deg retard you are giving up power and fuel economy.  Unless you are detonation sensitive, I would expect no more than a 2 deg retard on a 27 deg baseline for a 10 to 1 CR motor.  I would be happy with the 3 deg shift.
