Then changed my LRP X12 insert to -15 and reduced my turbo to 15 and timing boost to 50 the motor came off at 85 degrees and a fastest laptime of 17.05. I have far more punch and it didnt compromise top end speed.
Just because you max settings doesnt mean faster, you can put too much timing on.
Well, to be honest - You did use an X12, which are known to have a lot of timing built-in, so they do need less timing than other motors. Plus it was a 10.5T, which also needs less timing. So yeah - you did over-time heavily.
