I would not put too much stock in my readings with the vacuum connected. As it was explained to me by Paul, it fluctuates a lot and that is why you should measure with the lines off - I was just curious, and like Bill said, sustained 6000 RPM with no load is a bad thing...
While yesterday I did my measurements with a helper, stabilized rpm for a few seconds at each 1000 RPMs, today I was on my own so I simply zinged the motor by hand from the engine compartment, with my timing light preset at 20-25-30 to see what I could get to, maximum... So while I did see 30, it was not a stabilized thing, I just wanted to see if it could get "out there", I don't think it can...
I'm gonna keep it as is, essentially factory settings but retard line removed and plugged. And of course 93 octane only. Amusingly after all this, on my way to get pizza, I started hearing an ugly rattle from back there... I immediately thought the worst, screwed up my car experimenting with timing, or maybe one chain tensioner had collapsed - that loud... Turned out my FG bumper was rattling against one of its mounts, just a loose screw. Phew !!! ;-)
