    Full Throttle Spark Advance

    I've been reading that tuning the spark advance for full throttle should be above the .76 row, but I've found that my truck never seems to get above .68 when i scan it. Is that normal of my car or is there something wrong?

    Thanks for the help guys!

    I'll attach a scan with a WOT run.

    Each car is going to be different. The more power, the more airflow, the higher g/cyl. Since you have minimal mods on a 5.3, I would not think it would ever go higher than 0.64-0.68 g/cyl at WOT.
