GM Holden Ignition

I own a Holden Commodore V6, which runs the same computer (I think) as most
other GM vehicles. The way I understand it, is that only the MEMCAL gets
changed for particluar vehicles.
Anyway, my question is - Is there a way to adjust total ignition
advance outside of the MEMCAL. My engine has minor mods such as bigger
intake, free flow exhaust and slight compression increase. I wish to run a
more volatile fuel (namely avgas - BP100 racing fuel) and adjust the
ignition to suit. I already have an aftermarket PowerChip MEMCAL fitted
which gives quite good power and torque increases. I'm not really after big
power gains here, it's more of an experiment than anything.
If reprogramming the MEMCAL is the only alternative, how easy is it
to do? I realise special hardware is required, but what about software?
Also, I realise the high lead content of avgas will damage my
catalytic converter, but just quietly, mine has been taken out. Also I am
prepared to sacrifice an oxygen sensor in the name of research (well fun
really).
Any help is much appreciated.
