Default Pulling timing down to 10

I was getting my tuned over the weekend, on the street. We logged a few runs with the stock tune. Timing was all the way down to 13. The guy tuning it was scared to force it too far. I took it to the track last night, and ran 3 tenths slower than my stock tune, and from the stoop at the track, it feels like ****, but on the street i have to punch it, get back off of it, then punch it again to make it pull....

i just need some help on what i should do. He is tuning with EFI live.

thanks
Charlie

my car was pulling timing all the way down that low( it would dip from high 30's to 11 under heavy load), but it was becuase of a bad knock sensor.

Look at the knock learn factor or whatever EFILive
might call it; that shows how far you're being slid
toward the low octane table, on account of persistent
knock detects (real or false). 1 is good / high octane
table, 0 is mussed up. Your guy should have you log
KR and see what/where.
