I have done some new runs with my PocketLOGGER, my old ones and new ones are on my site. I've always heard that it is good not to have your timing drop below 10 degrees when you change gears, so how do you go about doing that? Should I turn down the boost or only if my EGT go up? I usually have about 18Degrees before I shift is that good? I'm only running 16PSI on the stock injectors, is this to high?

What i do is richen up a couple of % in the area where your timing drops when you shift. Mine is richer in the 5k rpm. From the looks of your mods, at 16psi, you should be ok on stock injectors given your AFC settings are not too lean. If EGT's go past 900c, then your too lean. 18 degrees is good, but most peeps try to shoot for 20 degrees, but its impossible for me cuz of the low Octane gas in Cali. I only get max timing of 16degrees with EGTs 860c. If I go richer to build timing, EGTs are colder, and I noticed I loose more power that way. Hope this helps.
