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?

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.
