Mapping something like emanage isnt all that hard as you are adding to an existing map, i would imagine it wouild be hard to tell if you going in the right direction though without a dyno. You could set your fueling up with a wideband and then look at putting in some timing but det cans should be used for that id imagine to be safe.

Yeah i wont be messing with ignition timing mate, i believe very few people mess with ignition timing on a piggyback, its just basicly the fueling im going to do but i need to know where to start and how everything works on the emanage software etc etc.

My car made 15hp with just 3 degrees more timing mate, there are big gains to be made in that area, but obviously you can get it wrong...

Read " Builting and tuning high-performance Electronic Fuel Injection" by Ben Strader. I got mine from amazon and found it very useful. I think you are best to tune your ignition on a dyno as you can see the increase in power and you can also see when you have gone passed the point of making more power by advancing ignition.
