Does this mean he is just relying on the DME to pull timing?
How does it "auto-adapt"?

Knock sensors
You do realize that if timing is retarded too much it can literally melt your exhaust valves, turbine wheel and cat? Of course there is EGT failsafe logic embedded, but this "adapting" concept is bs honestly. Knock sensor is not for "adapting" for fuel. It's there to make fast corrections POST knock, reducing cylinder pressure and temperature for a short time, not BEFORE knock events.
