I recently got interested in timing.

I tried to verify the static timing (using the no-suction/no-pressure method to find TDC). It seems to be around 30 degrees BTDC.

Now, here's the question:
Using Mode 8 I can adjust the timing +/- 10 degrees. But what should I be looking at for optimal timing?
EGTs, RPM, Mixture, what?
