Default Good running engine = ? timing

what does a good running ls1/truck engine pull for timing? at WOT, is 29degs too much or too little. i was told a good running engine may pull up to 35-37 degs of timing. this is assuming the engine is getting NO KR.

thanks,

allen

Actually, 26-30 is the range for the ls1 engine at WOT. I don't think anyone is running more.

WOT conditions, 29 degrees is very good. There are a few crack addicts running more than 30, but they run on race gas.

Good Luck
