It does timing very dynamically. UpRev's own tuning guide notes that even if they manually set the timing way way off, after a few pulls the ECU corrects itself back to appropriate values.

You don't want to do that. 8K RPM on a stock motor will eventually grenade your oil pump gear and destroy most of the engine along with it, as talked about elsewhere on these forums

This, yes, it's part of the same settings where you put speed/rev limits per-map for e.g. security/valet modes. However, you can do this without a dyno, just a laptop and a tuner license. Not that there's really any sane place to hit 160 in this car anyways, other than a select few tracks with very very long straights.
