What grade of gas are you using now? Obviously you are getting some sort of detonation, or false knock to retard your timing.
Try a better grade of gasoline. 92 octane minimum, or if you have alot of mods, then you better start thinking about a good unleaded racing fuel, or additive (NO NOT THAT NOS CRAP!)
Recheck your autotap datalogging, and be sure to get some data on timing,knock, and air/fuel. I got a shiny nickle that says its crappy fuel. I ran 91 octane in a pinch one time, and my car HATED it.
Good luck.
