Boost timing retard? The answer is "definitely kinda".

The megasquirt has a 3D timing table. Load in kPa on the Y axis and rpm on the X axis with timing values in the cells. I can set it to anything I want it to be. This one isn't mine, but it's an example of how it looks.



I'm not changing anything on the motor...I've had really good results with turbo stock shortblock LS engines in the past...I just got stoopid with a rough tune. We were still sorting out a couple of random megasquirt issues, and I got greedy and beat on it too hard before I should have. Also, the knock sensors were not enabled yet.

So to answer your question, I'll have more patience next time.

Boost was right around 14 psi. Gonna back it off to around 10 until I get everything sorted out, then switch over to E85 and go to 16-18 psi. Shooting for 800 rwhp out of this setup.
