Default timing and fuel

I have read hundreds of threads through search and nothing relevant to what I seek

I am looking to boost 8-15 lbs - on my twin turbo 6.0 4l80e build

I am brand new to gassers and turbos but well versed in diesel boost to 85 psi

anyway - I can not seem to find anywhere that speaks to basic timing and fuel needs - I am setting up with 80# injectors to start

what I am looking for is timing values ie how many degrees to start, and how much timing under boost or is it the old rule of thumb of removing 1 degree timing for every lb of boost so like start with 32 degrees and look for 12 degrees or so at full boost?/

what fueling am I looking for under full boost - 11:1 12:1 ?

I have a friend with EFI live but again , like me he is a diesel guy

does anyone have a decent EFI LIVE tune they could sell me to get on board fully and that we could just tweak from there

I will read and study my heart out if someone could point links that I could not find

any help would be appreciated
thanks
Ken

Hi Ken,

The rule of thumb gives you a base tune...

but then, you will still need to get timing determined on the dyno (in addition to tuning for air/fuel).

Fueling 11.5afr with pump gas.
As for timing 14* is a good start if you have 93oct.
And go from there as long as you don't have knock.
