No, it sounds like someone hit a 4" steel pipe with a ball point hammer.

oh goody. i have nothing to worry about . i never realized the knocking was that loud..i've never been in a car that did it. my dad did alot to the intake, throttle body and exhaust on his truck, but he would always make sure the fuel and fuel system were up to spec to handle the increased air flow and such so i never heard pings from the cars at home.

My car misses every time I go past 10 psi. Other than that It runs fine. I wish I knew what is causing it.
