Default timing for a stock L33 with 7 # boost ?

Im starting over with a L33 and 7 #s of boost

I just blew up #7 piston on a LQ4 at 15 degrees. at 8 #s.

So, its cheap to replace an engine, but all the work sucks ! lol.

What is everyone running for timing on stock bottom ends, no meth !

Just premium pump gas and EFI and 7 #s of boost.

How much timing ???

I'm running 13psi and 13 degrees...been this way for about 6 months. Meth and a walbro 400 or 450 will be my next mods. This is a cammed LM7 with ebay head studs and ls9 gaskets. Do you do your own tuning?
