What is a decent amount of initial timing to save the starter? I have 32* total and I have it set to start with 15*(or 20*) and ramps up to 32* by 1100rpms...idles around 750-900rpms with 20*. Mine is race-only.

first off all 32 total isnt enough timing. without knowing what the engine is its impossible to tell you where it should be but regardless 32 is too low.
