these are the mods that i have in for now at the bottom, i do have a maft setup but it is not hooked up for now. for some reason with these mods i am running sometimes 45 degrees of timing at wot, it had 19 degrees of timing, but it read like 45 when i shifted gears, why is that and is it dangerous? i have taken out the lower honeycomb from the stock mas so that i do not fuel cut and i do have a k&n filter.

n1 2 1/2 to 3 in. downpipe to 2 1/2 in piping into stock muffler. not cat
pacesetter manifold.

You are fine if you see 19 degrees of timing. The 40 some degrees is because you left off the gas pedal and floored it again while shifting. No it's not dangerous and that is completely normal.
 
ok thats cool, and a load off my chest, thanks. i did notice that i am running higher timing when i am normaly driving, like 40 degrees, is that normal?
thanks
 
Yeah when you are normally driving there isn't a lot of load on the car so the ECU keeps timing high. That is all normal.
