Thanks to everyone else that responded.
sorry man, I don't know anything about P28, all i know how to chip is obd0 (PM6) make a post in the engine management section, and read some more about chipping, it's actually really easy to do it yourself, you seem like a smart person, i bet you could do it.

So if the ECU is retarding the timing at high boost, it would be best if I retard the timing by a modest amount...6 degrees from stock which is 16 degrees BTDC. So, when the ECU advance the timing in low boost, the increase will be cancelled by the amount it is retarded in high boost. Is my assessment a good one?

I don't think retarding the cam gear will affect detonation. Advancing or retarding the cam gear will only affect the power output. Retarding the cam gear will reduce low down power but it ncrease top end speed...advancing the cam gear is the opposite .
