20* at 800 rpm IIRC. I doubt its been re-flased as the timing is going in the wrong direction, tune = more timing.

at 1000rpm you should be seeing around 32* on a stock timing table if i'm reading it correct.

also stock idle is set at 650rpm in park/neutral

also the stock rev limiter is 5800rpm i believe.. i have mine set a 6000.

Thats def not stock if its shifting at 6200 or higher its way into the redline... Stock it should Shift at 6000rpms, thats where mine shifts... but cold idle mines at 1000rpms too but when warm up drops to around 575-600rpms
