I know that the advance between 75-100% load look a little strange (especially from 2000r's up), that is because I am messing around with the table to try to eleviate a knock retard problem I am having. It usually begins at about 3000-3500r's and then with the help of the EST goes away and never returns until I shift again. That is exactly why I wanted to see what some other DFIer's maps look like.

This was my original one. I've since made a lot of changes and will be making changes to this table.

RCR, shouldn't you have full ignition advance at full load at 3500 rpm? I would think you should have around 32 degrees, not ten. Also, under light load, I believe you can bump the timing up to 40-45 degrees. Fastbroker gave me some pointers.

Yes, that's probably true. I will be making changes with my new setup. With the previous setup, I went WAY conservative because I was picking up a lot of knock. Turns out I had 10 inner valve springs broken on my G1 TW heads. Just lucky it didn't come apart.

I think he has 22 degress initial advance in that table, no??? So, add 22 to all the values?

Here is a generic table that will get any good V8 running ok. More advance should be necessary, for sure, but this is just to help to get people started. In closed loop (14.7:1), this table is good, though, as the engine can't take too much more spark than this in CL. When you are in Power Enrichment (12.5:1 or so) you can/need to add a little spark, like 2-6 degrees, depending on combo and whether or not you have Al heads. hope the table comes out ok:

21.1 19.6 18.1 16.6 15.1 13.6 12.1 10.6 9.0 7.5 6.0 4.5 3.0 1.5 0.0 Vacuum, in

EDIT: This is basically a mellow HEI curve. Obviously, you can make the curve ramp in places where it is flat, change spark at near-idle areas, etc, etc, etc. Have fun.

Fast Broker,
The only way that would be true is if he set his base timing that way, otherwise the DFI is designed so that what you program in the spark table is what is actually at the crank. So he is actually at 10-12 degrees at 3500+ r's and full load.

What city/town you from? Please don't say Ansonia , talk about "burning rubber" eh?

Yeah, good one. Like the tire plant 20 sum-odd years ago in the same place... hmmmm

Manchester for me when in CT. Sheeoottty town but wife's family kinda centered around there. Plus, a chassis dyno in town...

And, just because I live here doesn't mean I have to hang/work here. Work in Hartford...

If that was a "true" table, he'll see A TON OF IMPROVEMENT when he makes changes. I'd like to see the look on his face when he first drives it... EDIT: He's GOTTA have 10 degrees initial advance or that motor must run pretty damn aweful with only 10deg at WOT and high rpm...

This isn't my most recent spark map, but it's fairly close. I still tinker with it and the fuel map a little since it seems to want slightly different calibration summer vs winter. I've also got a map that got my emissions readings down to 26 ppm HC and 0.01% CO. I run a knock sensor and it isn't taking any timing out unless I'm at WOT in 5th at 1400 rpm. I'll apologize in advance for not being able to post an image. The RPM scale ranges between 800 rpm and 4000 rpm
