I'll check it on the road once I do valve adjustments and new injectors.
Without vacuum, you would probably loose at least 10 degrees of timing on the top end. Given that prospect, you should definitely bump up your ignition timing. These engines are more than thirsty enough; don't make it worse with late ignition timing.
