Default Cam guys: whats the most timing you have added at idle?

just wondering how much if any ya'll have bumped the timing up in the lower rpms to help with idle and surge??

I raised mine 2 degrees in the 400-1200 cells and it seemed to help alot on the warm start ups.. still stalls every now and then, but no where like before..

has anyone added 4 or more?

The warms starts got better to me when i added 1-2 degrees of timing so it definitly helped me there some. Now every 1 outta 10 will stall or surge on warm fireup instead of like 6 outta 10before. I didnt know if i needed to add 1-2 more degrees or not in the 400-1200rpms
