Simon , the motor will tell YOU where it wants to be , carry out a kickback test , look in the tech section , plenty of info there.
At 5* initial you will kill yerself with the unburnt fuel , is this a smog motor.
I'm sure Kiwi will sort it out , or have you messed with it after getting it back?

I used to run 18 at base it would start to ramp at 1400 rpm and 34 all in at 3000and that was bang on for my 340, being a stroker motor it will probably take more total.
