Default base spark question??

this is going to sound dumb,
on a m6 car , when using ls1 edit to tune your base spark numbers , what table to adjust? the base spark in drive or base spark in park??
why are they different on an m6 car???

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the base spark in Park (A4) is pretty much same as our Neutral (M6), in Drive (A4) should be in Gear (M6), I'd changed both tables from 0~1600rpm but haven't flash the PCM yet, will let you know how it goes.

what numbers did you use?? did you make them the same as the high octane table??
i'm asking this cause every time i shift the car bogs a bit then picks up ( kinda sluggish). in worse instances the car would jerk a bit. do you think this would be because of the timing tables?

the stock timing tables from 0 to 1600 rpm were all over the place and looked like a mess, so I'd just set the same value across the entire range from 0.08gm/cyl to 1.2gm/cyl:

Base spark in park:
0rpm=20
400~1200rpm=24
1600rpm=28

Base spark in drive:
0rpm=22
400~1200rpm=24
1600rpm=28
