Most are happy around 28*. N/A
They are very timing sensitive compared to traditional sb because of the valve angle and efficient combustion chambers.

Keep the timing low and sneak it back in 1* at a time.

As said you will find LSX series much more timing sensitive. Especially when getting a handle on a new type of motor and any new combo in general you want to stay really conservative on timing.

Are you asking a question just out of curiosity or did you maybe have a combo you would like a little insight on?
