Indeed, I've driven the car in a lot of different tunes over the years. The DA secondary rods with the old heads and cam, for example, were "heavy". And the stopwatch showed it liked the slower fuel curve of the BU rods with the old 068 and 197 heads. But on the Edel heads and the Crower cam it LOVES the DA secondary rods. The car drives really nice. It lifts the nose at the lightest tap of the throttle from idle. It pulls strongly and smoothly even in top gear from low RPM. It feels pretty "happily" tuned. But it's weird how little timing it wants and it's frustrating how little total timing it will take.

Not weird to me. Same here as there. Then I add octane booster and I'm good to go.
