With the V6 module on a V8 engine, all the advance(10*) is in by about 2500rpms.

ok could be a number of things,,did you try a colder plug?? did you tighten up the sparkplug gap? boost could be blowing out the spark..try a .028 gap and see what that does..

Make sure you're running at least 30* timing advance. Not running enough advance will cause high exhaust gas temps and burns valves.
