I've heard numbers as low as 15 degrees for LS.
Yellow Bullet probably has some traffic on this.


For higher horsepower turbo LS (say 1200-1600hp) I usually end up at most high teens. Maybe 17deg at 30psi on race fuel or E85. A few deg less at peak torque. 10 to 10.5-1 static CR

Factory forced induction LSA/LS9 at 20psi or so can run mid 20's timing on E85.

My first forced induction endeavor was a roots blown big block chevy when I was 19 in 1997. Because of books I read at the time the compression was -WAY- too low at 7.8-1 so it would take 30 deg from a locked out distributor with 12psi boost on 93.
