Default Does anyone have this timing problem?

In the 1/8th, I ran a 8.053 at 86.52 on a 100 shot spinning with a 1.85 60ft. With 8lbs. I ran a 8.3 at 82 and with 12 lbs. I ran a 8.2 at 83mph.
At the track I only see 11 deg. of timing. On the street I see 18 deg. of timing. My torque management is zeroed. At 12lbs. it runs so good on the street, it feels so much better than my nitrous did.
The only thing that I change is the tires at the track.
WTF

Is your motor heating up differently?

If it gets hotter at the track in those staging lanes (vs. crusing around on the street), it could be going to the "other" timing table.

What about KR?

I think ya'll are talking about the IAT vs Timing table. I zeroed it out. No detonation at all. The IAT never goes above 125degs with the 12lb pulley. In fact, with more boost it seems to have cooled the IAT down.
I have asked everyone I know about this. I talked to several tuners and they have no clue.
Why won't a 600hp truck run in the 7s.

my IAT's get into the 150 range.
the location of the sensor in a metal plenum on top of the radiator is just wrong. but that'll change soon, i hope.
