Could be your pcm pulling some timing because of high intake air temps from hard driving. Mine is set up to pull 3* under WOT if the Intake temps go above 60*celcius. I think some people have problems like this and never can figure out where the timing goes. Mine is always at least 1* lower then what edit is set at.
Generaly if you raise timing you should add a little bit of fuel but it depends on how much timing you add and if you see KR if theres no KR i`d just leave it alone.

I don't think its a low timing table issue. It would be lower than 24degrees... it would be 19 degrees or lower.
There are many variables that the PCM uses to figure out max timing. 172degrees coolant? That may not even be hot enough to be in closed loop... I'm not sure exactly what temp closed loop requires..
Is your torque management zeroed out?

ok, i think i might have found why. i did put gas in it but i noticed taht i only had my 5000 rpm pill in so i took a few runs to about 135 in 4th and made sure i let it go to about 6200 and the timing was jumping up from 24 to 25 and so on up to about 28 or 29 before i backed out. so would not leting the engine rev out like that cause me to get low numbers like that? im gonna have him double check the program just to make sure.
