Log when the knock is occuring and back a little bit of timing off in that area.

Cory,

Get a hold of me this afternoon or tonight, the next couple of days are supposed to be nice outside so we can do some street tuning to get everything dialed in. Also, here in the next couple of days Dieman Motorsports is supposed to have their Mustang AWD dyno, if not Imagine Auto has there Mustang AWD going in January 29th.

I also had to turn down the boost from 23psi on 93oct to 20psi on the 92. Am I missing something dose timming need to be ajusted. Thanks to all

Running alcohol on top of pump gas does not guarentee no knock , its not race gas. You can and will get knock if not tuned properly. I would pull some timing out of the map...

Corey,

Should have just called me about this but if you want the worlds opinion that's fine.

The car should definetely NOT have ANY knock retard AT ALL!!

The car should not be "sputtery" up top, AT ALL!

When it left here we had it running with absolutely NO knock to speak of, if I remember right the highest knock voltage was in the 1.4-1.5 range, that was at 25 psi on 93 octane.

If it is correcting from knock the first sign to me that something has been messed up is the AFR's you are posting. 11.0:1 is too lean and not where it is was set up on the alcohol when it was here. Probably from switching maps to ones I never tuned on with the alky on, we only did one alky map when you were here and didn't make any corrections in the other multiple maps you had asked me to do with other lower/higher octanes.

Dude......
