TG you need to let go of the marine mentality man. If it works for you great but I know I can make more power than you on 30% at .018 and 40% at .021 with zero detonation at 4.5 mm exhaust height. we do it every day no problems. What you shouldn't be doing is spinning people off towards unrealistic head clerance on their production motors. If its a hand built thats a different story but you do them a disservice by directing then toward toward a global meltdown of their hardware.

If you feel inclined to take .008 thousanths head clerance advice do so at your own risk that is all I have to say.
Thanks a lot for your input.
Motorman, you know, I made strong respond, but decided to edit it. We will see who is right!!!!!!!!!!
but your post is very promissing to me, I love it. It means, I am on right way even from your point of view!!!!!!!!!!!
4.5mm-154.41 degreese 164 degreese is better!
