Have you tried it on a B6-6?

The "optimal delay" in RockSim is a moving target. Don't take the figure that it gives you for Bx-4 motors at face value. To zero in the true optimal delay for a given motor, you need to sim the launch repeatedly with that motor while working through a whole range of delays, including delay times that aren't actually available. At some point the delay that RockSim recommends will reach a plateau, and simming the launch with ever longer delays won't cause it to budge from that number.
