Run 7-9 degrees high cam timing at 10 psi, and lock it there up until you hit knock limit on pump gas.

I'm still trying to figure out whether the Y8 timing issue is worth the trouble, or if I should switch to a Z6 head and run that on a built Y8 block.

There is no Y8 timing issue. There are ignorant asstards with issues who feed Y8 too much timing. They also feed Z6 too much timing, but to a lesser degree. You know you have a timing issue when D16 purges into the overflow tank when boosting. If it doesn't purge, but logged coolant temps don't drop down much and still spike high after a good hard pull, you probably need to yank more timing. It's to the point I can calc ballpark ignition timing based on coolant temp sensor feedback; there is no reason you ------s can't do the same.
You can download the dyno tuna D16Y8 .bin on xenocron's repository. The low cam ignition is ignorant as hell and too retarded; the high cam ignition under boost is rock solid. Have fun.
