Default Timing at idle?

Does anyone know what the ignition timing is set at at idle on the LS2? I know it moves around some, but roughly, what is it at?

Tom400CFI,

I have a Predator log from my 07 C6 A6 where I was sitting idling
for about 12 seconds. It did seem to move around a lot; from about
9 to about 14, with 12-13 seeming to be the average.

I hope this helps you.

Here is a base C6 LS2 timing charts for base running timing and the main spark advance.

Good info and replies. Thanks. There is more advance than I thought that there would be.

Has anyone tried advancing the timing more, then closing the throttle more? Just for idle?
