While 2K looks impossible, 4K should work.

This will require horizontal positioning of the ball inside the kernel.
With an empty tombstone row I only gain 36 (28+8) cycles which may not
be enough for a 100% flexible position. Therefore we will have to limit
the possible grenade positions to about 100 pixels (maybe less!) around
the center.

Remember that this would not only require another 5 cycles but also
change the color of the safe zone.
Have fun!
