Default timing question (dash logic)

TT Vette with ERL 427 here. I have a dash logic showing 19 degrees at idle and driving it shows 45.5!! How accurate is this thing.

should be very accurate but timing will be a function of RPM and throttle and a few other variables so I think I see some pretty high timing at lower RPM and certain situations

That's what I thought but never saw it that high on old setup.

I would worry about timing under boost. Cruising you will see high timing and idling I've see as high as 21 depending on the combo.

Sounds good. Breaking in the motor and then will see what we get.

Just reporting what the ECU is telling it. Sounds normal.

Agree.

Sounds normal. It's read straight from the ECM. No calculating or estimating--it is accurate.

It's always funny when people talk about timing tables like it's this one value.. it's actually over 1000 cells. It varies considerably based on engine airflow/RPM. Less fuel = slower explosion = mixture has to be ignited earlier to get peak cylinder pressure at the right time.

Here's a stock LS7 timing table for comparisons sake. Idle timing is defined separately and 19* is not unusual (forget anything you know about older engines.. the idle strategy is different on LS2 and newer engines)
