    More info on your setup would help answer your question. Backing up a bit of timing is nice to keep things conservative.

          What are you using to tune? With Crome, i'm able to use the degree per psi feature. I would go with probably at least 1* or 1.25* retard per psi of boost...but I don't know your injector size, CR (guessing above 9:1), etc

            To me that's way to much...1.25* x 8 = 10* he'd be pulling off a stock sohc rom..which probably has timing in the high to mid 20s....so say its at 28* at 5krpm..now he would be at 18* at 5k @ 8psi. = too much pulled imo..

            Without a wideband thou..I wouldn't touch shit anyway..

            Set your distributor timing to factory and use crome to alter it..not the other way around

              The "I don't know if its tuned" ECU concerns me... that should be the most important thing! Get that thing tuned.
