Default how to set ignition timing with increased idle RPM??

i'm sure there are many people out there who have somehow raised the stock idle from 750 to 800-900rpm when trying to smoothen out the idle due to high lift/duration cams.

question is how do you set the base timing when the idle is no longer 750rpm?

setting the timing at 16deg@750rpm would probably be diffrent then the timing at 16deg@900rpm....... am i right or wrong?

lets say i had my engine to idle at 900rpm. what would i have to set the timing gun to to acheive a base timing of 16deg??

thanks

Its close enough.
Just make sure you short the service connector.

connect a piece of metal (paperclip) to the brown and black connector with the clip
that connector can be found on the passenger side above the ECU. Their tucked away.
