Need,

This is the same thing with my car. I ran consistent 12.7's at 111 and now I am running 13.0's at 108. The TM effects my car sometimes and others not.

I have been to the strip enough to see that something is going on with my car. Maybe some of the other people who have run in the 12's have not been to the strip more than once to test my theory.

Not necessarily true, the 6 speed C5s (and F-bodies) had it to some extent as well.

I've never heard that and have my doubts as to the validity. We're not talking about timing being pulled based on knock sensors.

Tell us how it works with a 6 speed. At precisely what moment and under what conditions does the pcm pull timing?

I'm curious as well. By the way, Need, thanks for the explanation to my last post.
