Default Making an ignition table more conservative - need feedback

I recently replaced my motor after a lubrication-related catastrophic failure of my last motor. The last motor was tuned at DIYAutoTune after installing a Megasquirt PNP V2.

I'm doing a track day this weekend and won't have time to get to the dyno between now and then, so I'm looking to make my ignition table more conservative to give a little bit of cushion.

The three tables below show 1) the original dyno tune, 2) my proposed changes, and 3) the difference between the two. I scaled back the timing in the boosted rows (the 100+ rows) since I figured that's where there was potential for knock.

Any critique or feedback on the approach?

No. Why, timing looks too aggressive?

fwiw my max advance at 200kpa was 19°. I stopped there basically because I hit my power goal and figured that was conservative street timing at that level and our fuel.

at 200kPa my 1.6L was safely agressive at 16°.

IIRC the maximum timing I was able to pull on a 1.6L using the best pump gas available and some octane booster was something like 24* at 160kPa. Now 33* is full-det area, unless of course the base was not calibrated.
