Not Ranked
I am going to assume your engine builder specializes in DRAG RACING engines. A race combination, properely set up, will spend most, if not all ,of its time in the power band. When this is the case who cares about 1000 to 3000rpm "streetablilty". Most drag cars that are set-up this way have a timing retard for starting or a push button starter that will allow the engine to be spun before turning on the ignition.
Barry Grant states that with todays 93 unleaded octane fuel, a long duration camshaft, and low manifold vacume , about 20 to 22 degrees initial is required to lengthen the burn time in the cylinder to achieve a complete burn. On a street engine 32 degrees initial seems excessive at best.
