Timing can be adjusted, it IS intercooled but I don't know what the charge temp
is . . .yet.

It seems to be running like gangbusters, but I will have it on a dyno soon to
see what it is really doing and what the a/f ratios are when it is doing its
thing.  I would also like to have the oil analyzed to see if I can learn
something.

I'm just collecting some data/idea now - and thanks for taking the time.
