Want More Boost - Can 'Base' Timing Be Set? 700 1990

I have a Dawes Devices Manual Boost Controller which works well. However, I notice that when boost reaches past 11psi, there is a very small amount of detonation. Someone suggested that I correct the "base" timing on the car and that might prevent detonation with higher boost. But I thought that the timing on this car was controlled solely by the computer. What, if anything, can be done? -Any help is much appreciated! Thanks, -David.
