Anyone know what the deal is with timing advance in this car?

Also anyone noticing lean conditions when your foot is OFF the accelator after an acceleration? I notice my AFR goes to like 20 for a bit, or until I put the foot on the gas again. (it always stats between 13-14.5 every other time)
I'm no expert either.. but on my previous car, I had a standalone EMS put on it.. The tuner told me it was normal for AFR to go up to 20+ when you let your foot off the gas.. it's suppose to save gas that way. And because you essentially have no load on the engine, being that lean won't hurt the engine.

I don't completely understand the timing on this car either.. I've wondered myself why the timing DROPS under harder acceleration.. I'm assuming it's for safety reasons, since there's more potential for knock under hard acceleration than when you're just cruising on light throttle.
