Your question had to do with what total timing you could run with your particular combination and since every combination is different, even with a motor using the same parts as you are, I suggested continuing to dial in advance until you encountered detonation. You can detect that easily by reading the plugs, if you know how to read plugs properly.

Your other concern had to do with the inability of the motor to continue to operate properly in tight turns and sudden stops, which would be a function of fuel sloshing in the bowl. If you have no bowl, you have no sloshing.

Now, I feel a little stupid for trying to help you in the first place, since you already know all the answers.
