Ok so i checked my timing (ignition) today and it was dead on. With my pocket logger though i am getting some really high timing readings when i floor it. It goes up in the 40's but 2nd gear its seems to be littlte lower i know with the turbo guys when their ignition timing is high like that turning up the boost helps alot but what am i supposed to do to cure it? and for my next question my car misfires sometimes and im not sure what it is i looked at the spark plugs and they arent fowled or anything and they only have id say 12000 miles on them ive also run injector cleaner threw the car about 3 months ago. Also how can i tell if i am runing right or lean i would guess im running rich because of the high timing advance but i dont know any and all help would be great. My mods are listed in my profile> :laser:
 
took it out and did some more loging and figured out that the timing only advances to the 40s when the take my foot off the gas at high rpms so its really advanceing to about 19-26 at wot usually 22-23 is this still high wut should i be at. :laser:
