What WOT timing are you guys running with 87 octane?
I've been playing a little with my HPTuners and so far the truck has liked everything I have changed. So far I basically multiplied the factory timing (high octane) settings by 1.5, then again by 1.1. WOT timing is still a mere 17 degrees, which seems a bit low, even with 87 octane gas.
I was just curious what timing some of you all are running on bolt-on trucks that run regular unleaded, 87 octane?

Mark-VI iron-head Bigblock 454, 87 Octane fuel, 180-degree thermostat, 24 degrees timing.
This isn't really relevant to a Gen-III aluminim-headed SBC, but the comparisson is interesting. Bigblocks have such low compression with stock heads that the knock sensors (2) are just ornamental.

I just wanted to see where everyone else is, as far as timing on their trucks. I'd like to keep running 87 octane, so I'm probably getting close to maxed out.
No functional wideband at the moment.
