Default 496ci 585hp tuneup

My friend jyst got this really nice engine in 26ft celebrity Andretti... and it needs a tuneup. I'm thinking idle should be around 1000 ish and timing about 10btdc. ????

Thanks for your input.

Todd

If Tbolt IV Set total timing to 32-34. You choose - it's your motor. Initial will be what it is after setting total.

Idle 800rpm if possible.

Many different modules out there...so.....

Total timing is where it stops advancing......

Example: was tuning a set of 525sc's. Was told those modules stopped at 3200rpm. Well, they didn't. They stopped at 4200 rpm. Imagine if I set total different than I do rpm wise ? Again, I go to where it stops advancing and then I bring it to a good 300-400rpm more to make sure it isn't advancing. This is no place to assume nor get fooled.
