Default Tuning changes for more boost

If one where to switch pullies to produce more boost, what changes to the tune would be need to account for the extra boost? I assume that it is only the PE vs RPM table right?

Good call That should be easy to change based on the amount of knock retard.

There is a good timing estimator on superchargersonline.com. You can put in your base timing, your intercooler efficiency and the boost you want, and it will estimate what your timing will be and how much hp you will gain in trade. Pretty cool.
