Ignition Timing

Finished a 96 cu in build and went to my local dyno guy. What is done is somewhat irrelevant to my question but use a PC5. He dialed in the front cyl AFR, then the rear and said done. I asked about ign timing and the response was "it's at 4 deg where they all want to be". I hate answers like that but I must admit it's running like a charm. New to the Harley world and interested in feedback. I guess I should mention it's probably what you would call a stage 2 to 3 build. Thanks in advance ( no pun intended).

You could probably do better on the timing. I don't know anything about the PC5 so I don't know if it is capable of adjusting the timing.

it is adjustable. When the table is set to all zero's it is not making any adjustments. Positive numbers are advanced and negative numbers are retarded in the speified areas.
