Default whats everyones timing/spark advance?

Today i hooked the scanner up on my car and went for a drive, I posted earlier this month and stated my car was either detonating or seemed to have to much timing in it.

At idle my spark advance is 32

at cruising speeds its usually around 42-45 (where it seems to run a little rough)

and at WOT its about 38

is this close or dose this seem like to much?

My car doesnt really retard any timing usually .5-.6 degrees, but the knock counts kept going up on the snap on scanner, a 25 mile cruise gave me 113XX in knock counts, i dont know what the KS counts really read or what the big numbers for hopefully some one can step in here and help me out.

Thanks,
Austin

The 42-45 does seem a little high especially for your mods. I would drop them down to around 36-38 and see if the knock goes down. The wot seems about typical to what most people run. Just remember its hard coded into our pcms to add 2 degrees at 4k and another 2 degrees at 5k.
