Hi Adam,
    The wasserboxer and most modern engines run 40 to 45 degrees advance
above 2k rpm (There are exceptions) .    If you use a vanagon digijet or Cal
vanagon  L-jetronic air cooled ignition system it will put your timing more
where it needs to be for proper operation of the wasserboxer imho.
