Buly,

Last I recall, Tracy's instructions were to set the static timing at approx 
35degree BTDC for maximum advance.  Then you can retard the timing from that 
point using the EC2 mode 8? (Ignition Timing Adjustment mode) for best 
performance.  Each time you push the program store button in mode 8 it 
changes the timing approx 1.875 deg.  There are 10 adjustments possible for 
a total of 9.375 degs.  Or when set at 35 deg static you would retard the 
timing to a minimum of 35-9.375 deg = 25.625 deg BTDC.

 I fly with my timing set 3 forward of the center position which means 2 
retarded or 2* 1.875 = 3.75.  Which would give me 35 - 3.75 or 31.25 degs 
BTDC for normal flight.
