they can miss if the mixture is too rich, has happened to me several times. Maybe gap them to the minimum spec or put new ones in if they are worn. I use Bosch +4 and NGKBCP7EV,,,both work well all the way to 25psi...no noticable difference. I know with my MSDBTM the timing map gets quite lean midway then is ample around 20psi. I don't think the AID has that problem by the sounds of other peoples' successes.
I have adjusted the AMM to 400ohm and backed the wastegate to around 6psi. Boot peaks @24psi and stays around there all the way in the upper gears. I presume it's running a bit richer on the way up as it feels a bit more "hefty" in third gear. Also first time in a while I clicked the 6200RPM cutoff in 3rd....I don't like doing that but I didn't have time to react, I was dealing with a dodgy front end (slighly downhill too!). No time to view the A/F that time:) With all these godies the spoolup is amazingly quick, similar to 7.5+psi in the days of old (last year)
Oh yeah, timing is set @ 19BTDC. When I was in California Mike suggested that I set my timing to 15-16degBTDC in that 40+C degree heat, regardless of what the A/F readings are @max boost,,,,,those reading drop FAST when the boost holds,, and on the boost rise (with my BTM) I had major shutter with intitial timing at 18degrees,,,it was lean down low, not bad at max. Maybe try 16degrees,,,worth a shot.
