It should be no more than 12 degrees advanced especially if you are running a compression ratio over 10:1 on your engine. Oh and one of your other vids showed a backfire through the carb which is caused by the wrong timing setting.
Good Luck!!

Really...... So the 30* locked out timing on my race car engine running 13:1 is just all wrong. Geez.... who knew?
Paul - Not sure where you've gotten this information on base timing but it's just flat incorrect.
