The 993 curve I saw showed a max advance above the 26 BTDC max used in almost all cases. Up until the 993, it almost looks like Porsche was married to a 26 BTDC max and altered the compression ratio to suit the fuel spec for different markets. Compression went from 8.5 to 9.8 to 10.3 to 11.3.
Paul,

It could be the chip bin I have if faulty. But if you look at the rest of the WOT timing it shows 30BTDC after 5500RPMs.

I'll double check the chip map by hand with a hex editor to see if those numbers make sense.
