Due to the very high compression ratio of this engine, trying to achieve the ideal ignition timing (MBT) is often tricky. We are often forced to run timing based on knock limitation rather than full optimum timing. At 8-10 psi, we would definitely be able to run more timing and make more power with WMI in place. That's not to say that we can't run 8-10 psi without WMI, it's just that we will not be able to achieve MBT.

If you were to run WMI, you'd probably want to run at least 10-12psi though, if not a little more, just to get your money's worth.
