idk if this will be a stupid question or not so i apologize, but recently i’ve been looking at my timing live and noticed that when im not WOT and lighter in my throttle timing will be pulled and slowly go back to zero. am i thinking about it too much? is it bc less throttle means less boost so timing gets pulled?

when i am WOT i have little to no timing being pulled

Not a Corvette.
That's timing correction, not your actual ignition timing.

It's showing how much timing is being corrected from the base timing table.

This. Any timing correction is bad, lol - but part throttle its largely irrelevant.

Your actual timing when you're off throttle in vac you'll see up to -50 (negative 50) degrees of timing, just depends on what the engine is doing
