Shane,
No if you've been following my post

What happen is I had 2 ultimate programs before I did the juice.
But everyone told me I had to lower my timing so I had 2 new programs put on my Delta Chip (I loved my old programs)

The one for gas is extremly mild, only 15 or 16 degrees of timing burned for 93 octane, and also 6lbs of pulley, (even know I only run 4) I always do that to make it richer. It shifts close to 6k, I'd say @5800 is the average, torque reduction turned off, and the fuel shut off/rev limiter no where in site


The one for the juice is even lower timing, and has some other changes like shorter shift point @5300 RPM and of course it's
even more richer.

The first run I made with juice I had it on the Nitrous Program but it was cutting in and out at top end (the timing was too low)
OR SO I THOUGHT, turned out the juice wasn't engaged.

So for my next attempt I put it on the Gas side and ran a 12.0,
then about an hour later I made another pass and again left it on the gas side, ran another 12.0 with identical numbers across the board within 100's of a second from the pryor 12.0 run.

Now I also tried both programs with no juice.
Unfortunatly my gas side doesn't have enough timing, so it only runs 12.7's and 12.8's. I made one attempt running ALL GAS on the nitrous program and it proved my point, it outright died on the top end, and only ran a 13.0 @98 MPH even with a 1.7 60ft time.

But remember all Lightning's react differant to timing. Climate, Gas, elevation, etc, all play a part. Sal, Jim, Johnny, etc can burn the identical timing on a chip for 20 people and a few may get pinging while the others are running awesome.

Mine needs to be at 17-18 degrees of timing 24/7 on Gas.
HOPEFULLY this weekend (DAM RAIN EXPECTED) I'll TRY and finally make another Nitrous Run, but this time on the Nitrous Program to see if it's better than the 12.0's. Then I'll send it out for a reburn and add at least 2 degrees on my gas side and after gathering more data I'll decide if the juice side (low timing) is faster or slower than where it is now.

BTW
I really don't feel good seeing 6k shifts while juice-ing, it and I wouldn't recommend shift points that high.
I call it stretching my rods, WORKS FOR ME

I'm 66
Gator 61
AND BTW
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU UP TO NOW GATOR ???

I guess i was mis informed about it not working that well on Lightnings,I cant believe people are gaining up to a second already in 12s bringing them into the 11s.Really,i cant believe its just the nitrous I guess some of the 10 second tuner trucks should just throw on some nitrous and instantly drop in the 9s..............
