mine is a cheap one that has no HB feature. it just checks when the voltage drops below XXvolts it will activate. mine turns on when the voltage is off (i believe) and thus you need to rev the car to about 1500-2000rpm when you turn it off to actually keep the car running or it will stall. Anyway, since the wire won't go from 12V to 0 instantly the timer (i am guess) sees when it gets below a point.
The point of me raving on is that i believe that your wiring is old, or the car has had a conversions. What this means is that when you floor it the car will pull more current, however the alternating will not spin faster till after you start to acell. thus the load is bigger then the supply and the voltage drops to batt level, or worse if the batt is on its way out.
The other thing is that the wire may not be able to take the current draw and thus causes a voltage drop (which happens a bit i have heard) thus making the timer not see the 14 odd volts but less. thats my guess.
