justchil -
Going to be picking some up next week when I head up to the track to see what she runs.
This will also be my first time - ever - at the 1320'
Should be fun...
I'm going to be changing the oil tommorrow and changing the spark plugs. I'm going to be checking for anything loose in the engine bay as well as taking a closer look at my DP.
I've also done some research and found out that the 4g63 knock sensor has been known to pickup phantom knock. Suspension changes. Valve tick etc.
FWIW - I've found out that rally cars usually pull the knock sensor! Makes sense since there's a lot of noise from debris and rally setups etc.
It's really irking me because timing is being pulled which in turn really messes up the timing curve.
Thanks for all the tips and advice. It's been really informative.
