What's your total timing????

I'm wondering what everyones total timing is. I think I may have a little too much advance. I'm set at like 46* WOT @ 6200 rpm. Plus I'm trying to get a good gauge for pulling a couple degrees out for the juice. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Id shoot for about 10 degrees less than that at 6200.

I thought it seemed a little high. You think I should pull that much timing throughout the curve?

Get a MSD timing retard box and pull 2* for every 50HP shot.

That's too much timing considering you're running a bigger cam. At high rpm the bigger cam could stuff more air in the cylinder creating more cylinder pressure and that requires less timing. On the same line because big cams with healthy overlaps bleed pressure at lower rpms it is necesury to have more advance there.
For the Juice I used to have the Mallory 685, which has good features like retard, window switch...etc.
