Wow nick, take a chill pill bro. Why would retarding timing be a bad thing? It may be bad in an N/A setup in terms of it giving you less power. In a turbo setup running high pressures it is a good thing. Now in a turbo setup running lower pressures like 7psi it is not necessary, but that does not mean it would be a bad thing to do for safteys sake like when you get to 10psi on a stock bottom end. Pulling timing is not detrimental to the engine or anything. And just to make some of the above responces a little clearer: Denser Air = more volume, more volume = more pressure in the compression stroke and more boom in the combustion process. The stock bottom end will only take so big of a boom...
