Timing table

I'm just starting to tune up my car. I have a cam and headers soon to come. My car is N/A. What year and type would have the best timing table to copy over as a starting point.

Thanks
 


My best bet would be an '04+ table as IIRC they are more aggressive on the timing curve.

Then go from there.

I was on a stock valvetrain'd L36, AFR sitting around 12.0~, 36*~ timing at WOT.

Ran 87 octane with stock exhaust without the u-bend. No knock, evah.
 
rumour has is: 27* is MBT.

Meaning going over that is pointless.

Apparently run less octane if you can run 27* at WOT without KR.

12.0 is still too rich, run 12.5-13.0.
 


So did anyone read what I typed?

Did anyone dyno their cars at different amounts of timing and see where it stopped making power?
 


I seem to recall that gains from timing were lost at anything over 24*.... Thats boosted though.

I seem to recall many saying over 18 on pump gas is asking for it.

Including vendors.

I also seem to recall a particular overkill stating 27* if N/A being as far as you go, then you drop octane.
 
Just set it at 27* from the get go.

Mine didn't knock.

Ever.

But god forbid you touch timing on blower cars.
 


Mine currently would like 93. I'm about to go in for VE though. Pretty sure it's way off based on my gearing, etc etc etc.
 
sweet I can't wait to get the XP laptop from work to use DHP. I know for a fact I'm running crazy rich too.
Thanks guys
