ok, i have been looking at your guys's spark maps and i have a few questions..
when the table is set to kpa and rpm, and goes from 0 to 100 am i correct understaning that 100 is 0psi boost and 0 inches vac?
next..
can this map be set to retard when the car goes into boost like the bipes unit does?
and can it be set to only retard when the MAT is above a certain point??
the ms extra manual doesnt have much information when it comes to tuning the spark table.. can u guys recomend any other websites where i can get some reading material on this?

104.7kpa is atmo at sealevel (0psi). Approx 7-8kpa is 1 psi. To make it retard ign in boost you just adjust the numbers that are already present. The reason that you see numbers like 25-30 at high rpm/no boost is because the plugs must fire sooner because of the increased piston speed. This is normal on all cars. Suppose your base timing is 14 and you are at 120kpa and 5000rpm. If you put 14 in that cell then your timing at that point is equal to your base timing.
As far as retarding at a certain MAT, I don't believe that is possible. For the most part the intake temp will be almost constant at a given psi. So tune for that. Ideally you probably want to tune on like a hot day in the summer so that you know your tune will be bulletproof the rest of the year. There really wont be much if any difference though.

variation of Al's turbosetup.msq for my 1.6 w/305cc injectors at 7psi.
I was getting a rich cruise on the highway this morning and took 45min datalog and it should be tuned out. Otherwise in boost it's dead on and perfect idle for me.

Al, I'm using your map now at 12psi. Only had to change a few cells out of boost and a few at 6000rpms...otherwise perfect for my 460s.
Spot on idle, cruise, and boost. I changed the AFR targets a bit and has EGO on, but it barely makes any corrections....nice job dude!

Al, I have a few questions about your map; first, why are your target AFRs so rich out of boost? At the upper end of the rpm range, you have 11.5 as your target at 80 and 100kpa. Secondly, with your Accell enrichment settings, you have it mapped up to 250kpa. Why didnt you scale it down to 100 or so seeing that any enrichments are turned off in boost anyway.
