yeah. ummmmm dont drive that car...20 counts of knock is crazy dood. you really need to retune it. do you have ecuflash? tactrix cable?

I highly suggest you dont take that car with that knock count on a road trip.

Flash your car back to stock, go on your trip. When you come back home, get a flash from a different tuner.

high timing?
high boost?
lean fuel?

look at your timing tables, that will help you find out if you got high timing. if you dont mind me asking, who did you get a tune from?

What are your mods, and if it includes a 255L did you buy the install kit or no?

I happen to agree, if you have an MBC, turn the boost down and put a stock flash back on the car for the time being.. Its not really a good idea to drive like that until the tune is fixed right.

Without a mod list, I don't think any of us will be able to help.
