Default Timing curve?

Hi guys,

Does anyone have the factory timing curve chart for an LT1 or LT4? I've been searching and came up with zero.

Thanks

I've got the stock timing curves from my '94 M6 if you want them. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to attach them to this post... I could email them to you if you like. There real small files, like 3k.
Hold on, I'm gonna try to cut and past here (since they're just txt files). Don't know if this will be readable. Here is the low rpm table:


"LT1 Edit Dump of Table -- Spk Adv 400-4000 RPM

400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000 2200 2400 2800 3200 3600 4000

KPA is a measurement of manifold pressure. The timing curve is determined by rpm and manifold pressure and the pcm KPA instead of in/hg. It's a metric PCM, I guess! BTW, I think KPA stands for Kilopascals.
