Will, had a chance to look at your logs and it still seems to pull 12* of timing...thus having an overall timing advance of 8-9* still seems a little low with the correction factor. I hope Upsolute can come around to writing you another file..b/c riding on 12* of timing pull doesn't give much room for any other safety measures.
Also, what you need to keep in mind is that running rich increases cyl pressure coupled with high timing gives you power but throw some miscalculations with some bad gas or higher boost...be sure to begin looking for some upgrades.
What plugs are you using?
Don, plugs are NGK BKR7E.
I'm beging to think that this is totally not working out with Upsolute as there has been no response of late. I'm going to write to Rene again, see what he has to offer.
