Default 00 z28 timing trouble

Ok so def need an expert on this one. Had my ls1 tuned, its a motor tune. (also had nitrous tune and done same thing ). The issue im having is when I accelerate hard to race my car drops timing. We had it at 23 degrees and it dropped to 10 degrees. You can force it with the laptop to hold the time but on its on it drops. What could cause this. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

You can log everything that can/will retard the timing and see what's doing it

You really need to log all the timing PIDs so you can figure out what is going on. Sounds like you're sort of killing skeeters with a shotgun.

It won't let me upload it, but I have a timing evaluation cfig that has everything that can adjust timing. Send me your email and you can use it as well to see what your problem is.
