if none of those other timing ideas work then you better think of buying a cam .One call to any of the major cam grinders could really pay off .By grinding a cam ,or suggesting the right "off the shelf" unit,the can really change an engines characteristics by changing cylinder pressures [effective compression rather than just the static ratio.Swerve was right in saying that you are really border line on your compression.I have done this in the past with great results in drivability.DAVE
