Timing question I want to slow my car down for a certain class(drag racing) If I set the WOT timing to something like 12* or even lower it won't hurt anything will it? I know I won't get any KR

Unlikely to cause any problems with the engine, but you might want to keep an eye on EGT's. Not for sure what your exhaust setup is like, but if you retard the timing that much then much of the heat that would have been distributed through the cylinder walls to the coolant will now go straight out the exhaust.
