it has to do with advancing the timing too far, i believe. chris had it on the dyno safely (no knock) at 8psi...so that's what he set it to. the smic's start to get heat soaked beyond that. i could probably run 10psi, but i'm aiming for 100% reliability here, so no dice.

i'm not an expert on this stuff (consult 3sx if you want technical specifics) but i know i need the TT ecu + SAFC2 if i want to run 14psi---because the N/A ecu won't cut it.
