I was wodering what type of knock levels you guys are getting under extreme power. Obviously, the lower the better but I'm unsure of what is moderate or normal.
Let me know what you guys are getting. Another question, what temperature are you guys seeing for moderate speeds. I'm seeing about 48 degrees celcius. It seems pretty low. I believe that's good.

 

Knock is relative to the car. A wide difference between cruise and high load/boost is not good...but expected. If you cruise at 20 and see 200 at WOT, then that might be bad. Or it might be something else the knock sensor (a microphone stuck in the block) is picking up. I wouldn't tune or compare by it.

What temperature is 48C for you? I am guessing its Intake Ambient Temperature (IAT) from the stock sensor? You will gain by moving the IAT sensor from out of the UIM and into the piping after the IC outlet but before the TB.

I was getting about 32 ___ whatever units it is. I didn't know if it should remain near zero. My water temp is about 48C but my air intake is always around 10 degress higher. I think my inside engine compartment temperatures are very high.
