I doubt it. You will NOT get hydrolock unless you get LOTS of water in your motor. Even with the CAI, you have to drive through at least 2 feet of water to get that much water in your motor.

The few oil drops in the radiator were not seen anymore. If you prefer, I am running 3 degrees retard during go juice.

Huh? I don't get what you said. What are you using to retard timing?

Last weekend I saw oil drops floating on my coolant reservoir. I thought it could be blown gasket. Indeed, it still can be, but I did not see it anymore after change the coolant. It could be due to a switch from regular to fully synthetic oil in an old engine.

I didn't think MSD made anything that would work on this ECU?

It works and works well. I've tested it simulating nitrous switching on and listening the engine getting retarded.

if im not mistaken big_ben, and i beleive im not, then patio is the infamous hydrolocked engine. i do know what it mean to be hydrolocked and what has to happen to become hydrolocked. try search for hydrolock and find patio's post. i'm not going to explain what happened. Read alittle before you assume you know the situation.
