Tip in is 16 to 24
Cruise is 25 to 35
WOT is 16 to 30
High RPM, low load is 33 to 40
Decleration (High RPM, high vacuum) is 31 to 40

It's all right there in the chart. Basically it's vacuum on the side and RPM at the bottom and then the timing you are running at where they cross. You can change any cell on the fly and it will automatically fill the next cells so the curve makes sense. So for instance if I wanted 2 more degrees at idle I can set that without resetting any of the other timing numbers. I need to play with a bit more. There may be more timing to put into it at WOT but I want to proceed slowly.

You start by generating that table by inputing some basics. I think my all in advance at 3000 was 32 with another 8 deg of vaccum advance. Idle RPM set at 750.

If I was a drag strip guy, I wouldn't hesitate on buying this thing.
