Not to be rude or a d!ck but ignition timing is not a constant one person may be able to run alot more than another depending on the type of fuel one is running more timing can make horse power but you Do Not want to cause pinging/knocking/detonation wat ever you want to call it get tuned on a dyno its not worth blowing your motor.

i understand that but from some maps i see 27 degrees up to 36 so like i asked i just wanted to know what some of u were using. i understand it depends on fuel type,air temperatures, boost etc.

It all depends man. So many variables, so many tuning styles, so many blown engines. The most I will tell you is not tune it like it's an SR or honda engine or it will pop rather quickly.
