The FMAX kit comes with it...
Here's something I found on their page.
"MSD BOOST TIMING MASTER
What about the high compression ratio and the lingering detonation? Perhaps use high-octane fuels. Great, but at a cost four times that of pump gas, its simply not feasible for a road car. A solution: Ignition timing management or introducing a delay of the spark per pound of boost, slows the burn by introducing ignition at a later point in crankshaft rotation, controlling the burn and reducing the volatility of a given octane. The beauty of the MSD BOOST TIMING MASTER is its flexibility, should you accidently fill the tank with bad gas, you are no longer bound to pulling over and getting towed to empty the tank, or even worse blow the engine. You can adjust, with a ****, the amount of retard that you can introduce.
ADVANTAGES Ease of installation, adjustability, the ability to turn off retard when using high octane fuels, complete elimination of detonation, ignition timing advance retarded only under boost, ability to eliminate detonation by retarding up to 20 degrees, and the elimination of detonation up to 30 pounds of boost.
DISADVANTAGES Horsepower loss due to retarded ignition timing advance and increased heat on exhaust valves. "
