This will tame it down alot. By the way, flat top pistons on a 347 will give you around 10.5 to one, which is very good.

When I play with my desk-top dyno and decrease the duratinon on the intake side,making it open later it changes the lobe center from say 110 to 114. This changes shows a good 10-15 hp gain. Does this actualy work in manner or does it make the ramp rates to steep?
