Low? Hell no, 32 was me putting some room on each side of those numbers. Most LS motors like 24-29*. The "add timing till it knocks" style of tuning doesn't jive on these motors, and each motor will act a little different. I've seen some LS2 corvette's KILL with about 25*.
In some cases, tuners will get less-than-expected power levels from a combination or tune, then try to add like 35* timing to make power, and chase the timing with fuel. What this ends up with is a tune that runs more dangerously, is less efficient, and doesn't make more power than the same tune done differently on lets say 26*
Turbo cars on stock blocks are in the 10-14* range.
I don't think the thing would even run on 50*
