timing question

My tuner told me that my timing is 11-14 degrees on side one and 16-18.5 on side 2. What temp does it start pulling timing out or adding. Like say i am on side 1 does it stay at 14 degrees untill it hits a certain temp and pull timing in increments till it reaches 11? What temp should it be a 11 and whayt temp should it be at 14 is what i am trying to say.

It only changes in cold weather where the computer can add as much as 3 degrees. What the Tuner is saying is your timing is somewhere inbetween those numbers. They can set it at whatever they want but unless it's done on a Dyno it will fluctuate, or a better work might be it can be a tad differant on a differant Lightning based on lots of things like climate, elevation, etc...

Your Good, I can run 15 or 17 degrees in sub zero NY winters with no trouble and Have been doing so.

Or you could be a tad more aggressive and run:
16* street
20* race

I'm running 16 for the Nitrous
and 18 for the Street or Track
( My Daily Driven program )
if I had room for another Program,
you can bet it would be 20 Degree's
