first of all, why do you want to retard the timing?
second, you will most likely need full engine management if you want to mess with the timing.

no if you retard the timing and tune your car you will be able to run a lot more boost.

If you want to just retard timing, J&S safeguard sounds like a good option as pulls timing automatically.
i believe MSD and crankcams also makes a unit that pulls a certain degree of timing you set per amount of boost it sees.
other ems units usually control fuel and timing ie. greddy emanage, unichip, microtech, haltec, aem.

Don't do it. Your car will be slower. Research.

Less timing with more boost will make your car SLOWER! I make more on 7psi than an MSP ECU'd car makes on 10-12 because of timing.

Yes, but it depends on a number of factors. Compression of pistons, octane, boost, air temp, etc. We advanced my timing on the dyno so much that power started to fall off, and it never knocked once. My motor is pretty knock resistant.

So why do you want to retard the timing to run more boost? Just so the needle goes higher on your gauge?

I think the OP doesnt realize how nicely his MSP will respond to some advanced timing with the correct mods and just has his "Boost goggles" on (they are like beer goggles...but for boost).
