Agreed it is a lot, but it will be pulling most of that out before the 60' lights easily. Talked to some racers at the SportsNationals and they were also running near that much timing initially at the start...difference was they were using micro-switches on their shifter to activate the retards.

My thoughts are the engine will never drop below 5000rpm again after the launch...it will only be utilizing the high timing for a very brief period of time. Testing will tell the tale.
