Dwell timing for 350z coils

So i have 350z coils on my s14a sr20det with ignitor deleted. 350z guys run 5.00 to 5.5 ms of dwell. How would i change that on nistune. I see the dwell time/duty table but i dont know what values to enter.
Here is what i found guys on PFC using for 5.00001 ms dwell time

IGN Dwell vs Time

Time = 166.6667 x angle ( / ) <-- that means divided by RPM

so here are my numbers for a 5.0001 ms dwell

RPM------------------Stock--------------modified for 5.0001 ms of dwell

10000 -----------------101----------------------------300
8000--------------------82-----------------------------240
4000--------------------43-----------------------------120
2000--------------------24------------------------------60
1000--------------------14------------------------------30
48------------------------9-------------------------(left alone)

Would i just enter the values on the right into the dwell time RAW table?

Not sure if im doing this right but here is what i did i took the 350z dwell 5.0ms/stock sr20 dwell 1.9ms( Can someone verify this is correct)
comes to 2.63 than i multiplied the stock value and came up with this. Is this right?

I thought stock SR20 dwell was something around 4ms from memory. so it only needs about 10-20% increase in percentage to increase dwell time

There is also an estimated dwell parameter you can select (right click gauges) in some ECUs

Okay. Page 53

Approx 3ms is what I measured on a number of ECUs

Also I scoped it another time back Aug 2016 for a customer to double check which was 3.5ms. See attachment

Awesome that's some good info.
So going to 5ms from 3.5ms I would multiply current values by 1.42?

Seems about right. 3.5ms to 5ms you mean?
