How much spark advance are folks using on the LS3 for max power? I'm using an aftermarket ECU (BigStuff3) which has no knock sensing for LS motors, and I don't want to keep pushing the timing until I hear audible detonation ... I'm running 24 degrees at WOT right now, but I have no idea what the factory settings are, or what well-tuned cars are using.
Thanks for any advice.

COT is disabled and yes, this is max timing in PE high in the MAF curve(near redline, I need to look a log to tell you when the car hits 25deg specifically). This is generally the number most people ask for when asking for spark advance. Of course, I do run more timing before peak tq with peak tq having the least amount in the curve.
