That would work.
You don't have to have the same strength spring on each weight, they can be different side to side to achieve your desired all in timing RPM.

That sounds better. does it accelerate any faster at wot vs the timing at 2300 rpms? Timing too early creates lots of negative work for the engine slowing it down and beats up the con rods, and mains more.

if it’s feels faster then try 2800 all in or 3000. But I would still say 2600 is likely better than 2300, even at your altitude.

id have to check my notes, but I believe I’m at 2750, 2800 all in on mine. Seems to accelerate the best at that point.
