    Boost timing on 93

    It seems everyone is very secretive when it comes to this subject.
    My car is a g8 l76 stock bottom end ( ls2 with ls3 heads)

    Tvs1900 at 8~9lbs. I'm seeing peak boost of 8.7 on the log off the MAP.

    On 93 octane my peak timing is 15*

    Searching the forums I hear mixed opinions, and a lot of guys won't share.
    I know one guy running 18* on 93 with a stock bottom end. Some guys are saying 13-14 is max.

    What do others run for timing on 93octane

    whatever gets you closest to MBT without detonation. no one can tell you what is the right number for your combination, that's not a secret.

    At 8psi, i'd say 15ish on that setup.

    Thanks dd. I know there's no magic number but i just want to know what others run for optimal HP and TQ. And I want to make sure I'm within safe range too

    Here is my Hi octane table. LS3 block, Trick flow 225 heads, small cam, TVS2300 about 10# 93 octane. 10.8 compression.
    And like Higgs said--this table probably isn't for your car.
    I'm pretty sure my fueling and a lot of other things are different.
