Rob,

You are comparing apples to oranges. I assume the first run was at your local track. Besides the weather difference of the first run being in late October and the others in April, Cecil is known for being a quick track. Also, it looks like you were on tires unless you are cutting 1.75 short times on the F1's. Putting tires on not only changes the 60', but it changes the mph at the big end. I am not doubting you saying that you have lost et and mph with less timing, but maybe it is not as bad as you think.
Your 100% right yysenhimer, but the problem is that 12.8 @ 106 was with the old set up. Since then I added a Accu-Fab, Plasma Booster , Truck Trak Bars, 28x10 Hoosiers, and yet I gained No ET and lost MPH. (even know my 60ft is 2/10ths better)
I should have gained at least 2-3 tenths. What makes me know it's a timing issue right now is, originally I couldn't break into the 12's with a low timing tune, and I constantly experienced a running out of gas feeling at the track (We also thought it was a fuel issue) as soon as I added timing that running out of gas feeling went away and my ET improved. This yr, I tried running it on the "Even Lower Timing" Nitrous program and look what happen#47 98MPH with a 1.7 60ft


That program is burned for 4LB plus NITROUS Runs @13-15 Degrees of Timing.
The thing absolutely died on the top end and was cutting in and out like it was out of gas. (it was due to my low timing)
I switched it back to the 15/16 degree side and immediatly ran a 12.7 minutes later without any cool down (no more cutting out feeling)

Then a few weeks later I switched it back to the low timing side and used the juice for the next run and got a 12.3 @109MPH.

So I know it's not a fuel issue but in "my case" a timing issue.
Of course Juice needs a little less timing.

So for me, right now I know that degree or 2 of timing I lost from my previous program is hurting me. However I also agree with you that doesn't mean thats someone elses problem. Me, I've done enough testing to know it's a timing issue.

To tell you the truth, I kinda like all this tune and testing,
I'm learning alot without going overboard first and hurting something. But I'm learning

Hmmm...most likely the burn on the chip then unless there is some other problem. I have seen dirty air filters affect times and mph but I don't know about by that much. I would say call JDM and ask them about the burn.
Switching from 3:55 to 3:73 will also change the mph, not by much but seems like that could be the difference in mph as well.
