X2. The compression test(s) should be performed at the same temp with the throttle wide open. Temperature differences will skew the results.

Perhaps I missed it; Did you try advancing the timing to see if your throttle response improved? That was just a troubleshooting device for low rpm so at that point, you don't need to worry about the total timing, you don't need to rev to 3,000 rpm. If you have lower compression than you think, you will want to use more initial timing and then, yes, you will want to limit your total.


Good luck
