    454 TBI Spark Advance Table

    The engine: 7.4L TBI out of a 1992 Suburban

    I've been searching the internet for some time trying to find the factory spark advance table for this engine. Specifically, I would like to see actual timing BTDC based on Ign Load % (MAP) vs RPM. Is this information that you tuners can easily extract from the bins? Maybe its in a different format than MAP v RPM?

    Did these advance curves differ between different years of the TBI 454 and if so, was there a "better" one in terms of power and/or fuel economy? I'd be interested in looking at the different variations, if there were any and I welcome your thoughts and opinions on which you prefer or your experience with them.

    I appreciate your input and hope I've come to the right place for this info...feel free to re-direct me if I should be looking elsewhere or if this has already been covered.

    The 454 SS trucks had a spark map designed for performance, but it was a light, regular cab truck with 4.10 gears. Using the spark map in a heavier truck, with taller gears can cause knock.

    You can download TunerPro or TunerPro RT so you can use it for data as well. Then open .bins and look/compare for yourself too!

    The stock spark map from a 454ss works just fine in a Suburban as long as you change the spark adders to match. If you load it down with 10000lbs of shit and pull up grades you might need to run mid grade gas, though.
