Default Spark Map Advice

Just looking for some tips and tricks or general advice. Just turboed my Miata: 1996, Kraken Top Mount GT2560R, stock bottom end. Just curious to see if this is a safe spark map or if there is anything I could change for the better. Any advice is welcomed and appreciated!

That is too conservative. Keep searching for braineak base timing map and others.

Trends you’ll see
2000rpm/100kpa 20
7000rpm/100kpa 28

slight dip around torque peak

-1 degree for each 1psi

Oh dang, I am running pretty conservative, I'll do some digging to find braineak's base spark map. Thanks for the advice. So close to getting the car running, just dealing with a leaky oil return and a broken CAS preventing my car from starting...

You should also mention what fuel you're running. A spark map for 87 octane is going to look a ton different than one for E85

I’ll be running 93.

IMO numbers in boost look safe. Maybe a bit conservative for 93, but not bad.

I would probably bump cruise timing (~60 KPA down @ 2700-4500 RPM) into the mid 30s.
