'88 IROC 305 TPI Engine Timing Spec

Anyone have the base timing spec for an '88 IROC 305 TPI motor?

I swapped this motor into my '87 el camino and the decal on the original car is long gone.

I need to set the base timing and can not seem to find it online anywhere?

Stock timing is 6*BTD.

Thanks, much appreciated. Is that off the tag on your car?

I also noticed that your '87 has a 5.7 TPI w/52mm TB. Do you happen to know what size TB the 5.0 TPI '88 IROC's came with?

I believe all stock throttle bodies are 48mm, for the 3rd gen. And by the way, the timing info is from 3 different repair manuals and memory.
