I suspect the timing is not correct.  Did you do the timing verification
check called out for in the EI installation guide?
The real timing point is when the green light goes out on the Light Speed.  
This is about 1' later than when the light goes on.  This would make the timing 
retarded thought, which is better than advance and would not cause higher 
CHTs.  I am running 10to1s and the timing needs to be retarded 5' (20'BTDC) with 
higher than standard compression, otherwise higher CHTs will result, or worse 
detonation.
