Timing advance setting with Engine Management System



Okay with the TEC 2 I can set an 8x8 grid for the Advance based on RPM and 
MAP (manifold air pressure). I have a 16V 2.0L with Autotech Sport Cams and 
have looked heavily throught the Bently on an idea how I should be setting 
the advance table. As near as I can find the idle advance should be around 4 
to 8 degrees with the full advance by 2500 rpm as 13 degrees mor than base.
 Quote from Bently:
CIS-E rpm-dependent timing advance:
total timing @ 2500 rpm = measured base timing value (4 to 8 degrees BTDC) 
plus approixmately 13 degrees
 In the TEC 3 grid I have it set on average as:
12 degrees at 816 rpm 
17 degrees at 1628 rpm 
34 degrees at 2440 rpm 
36 degrees at 3252 rpm 
36 degrees at 4064 rpm 
36 degrees at 4876 rpm 
36 degrees at 5668 rpm 
36 degrees at 7000 rpm 
 36 degrees total I am thinking about turning down to 28 degrees total.
 Does anyone have any input as to how they have theirs set?
