I lock out everything we do, it is more accurate that way. The BTM is the way to go unless you have EFI. There is also several MSD boxes that have laptop programs that let you enter a timing curve based on time, or pressure. I have never seen an engine that needs more than 1 degree of retard per psi of boost. Maybe we just haven't seen it but that is a pretty conservative set up. I would lock your timing at whatever base timing you can handle, 34-40 degrees and then pull timing out from there. Start with something like 2 degrees per psi and work from there. You will not be able to hurt anything with that. I am running about 28 degrees at 14psi on my engine but I am also using C-16 fuel.
