Why does spark exceed spark table value (sometimes) on decel?

The highest value anywhere in my FN2200 spark table is 43, but for some reason, after moderate accel to 4000 rpm, followed by a closed throttle decel I have logged as high as 49 dbTDC, generally about 2 secs after releasing the go pedal.

Just wondering why this happens?

OK, looks like FN389 Dashpot CT spark multiplier is the culprit! the actual dbTDC value made me nervous but checking it against FN389 x SAFTOT, I can see it's adding timing to try and more quickly stabilize idle speed from closed throttle transition.
