The ignition advance is something that needs to be experimented with to determine the best results.
You can not sit behind a computer and determine that.
Even the 289 Ford, with the Windor heads and the solid lifter, little high performance camshaft, likes 12 to 14 degrees initial advance.
The Cleveland series heads, more.
Stock the Boss 302 setting is 16.
Do what you want but I can guaranty my Pantera is a lot faster than your programmers computer is.
