For example if the following setting are used:
Timing = 45 degree
Start rpm = 5000
End rpm = 15000 rpm

Once the motor rpm reaches 5000 rpm the esc applies 2-3 degrees of timing and then ramps up the timing to 45 degree at 15000 rpm.
And as the motor slows down the amount of timing applied is also scaled back.

This algorithm allow for a very smooth application of timing, we use a fairly powerful micro controller running at 50Mhz to dynamically calculate of this information on the fly.
Having said that if you plan to use boost you should set the timing to 55 degree and then the boost will only add additional 5 more degrees and you will not see a huge current spike once the boost comes on.
This also negates the need for boost ramp up time, apply the last 5 degree of timing is quite smooth.
Boost only comes on when full throttle applied and the boost delay time counter reach the set end point.
We allow boost button to be enabled at 20 degree and higher.

I would like to thank everyone on this thread for helping us with all the feedback which helping us in improving our product.
