I havent pulled any, hehe. oops, lol. I hate my car anyways.

Runs very nicely at 10psi though, very smooth, runs a little rich. Sounds awesome as well, doesnt sound messed up like most cars I hear, haha.

I've read that anywhere from .5 degrees to 1 degree per pound of PSI is a good starting point. Im HOPEFULLY getting dyno tuned on the 29th if things go as planned

when we pulled timing the car dropped on it's face and lost about 25 whp. So Im thinking that the new coil on plug iginition doesn't need to be retarded till over 10psi

We had to retard up to 8 degrees of timing when tuning because of knock.

Ive also heard that the ECU retards the timing automatically like 25 degrees when seeing boost. But it shouldnt see boost with a ML or check valve of some sort. I have a black box. I dont think thats correct though, it was just one article I read. I was thinking BS when I read that.

Remember every degree you retard timing, this raises EGT's.
