So with the timing and using the wide bowl Pistons there isn't a worry running that much advance. My motor is all stock never been opened. So I guess I might run the risk of spraying the walls? I'm trying to understand why I see most dd stay 16-17 degrees advance an no higher.

I've ran my 180 pump at a hair over 19 for 2 Alaska winters. Mpgs are in the low 20s on the highway - could be better if I was babying it. You can tell its trying a little harder when it's 5* outside and when it's constantly cold and dipping into the negatives I just plug it in with a timer set for 2-3 hours before I plan on starting it. Stock head gasket and I haven't tightened the head bolts down more. I like 19* more than I did when it was at 16*. 24* will be next
