Default Knock Retard.....

Why are you people always knocking the retarded?? Oh... ignition timing???
Nevermind!! Actually I got a chance to drive the car with a Tech II hooked up and got to look at some of the numbers while and after the drive. I have the usual very basic intake and exhaust mods... I saw 1 degree of KR while I was accellerating from a low speed and in 3rd gear... but at WOT and higher revs I didn't notice KR. What is an acceptable amount of KR for a non or slightly modded C5???
I am going to spend some time learning the Tech II and what all the ###'s mean to my LS-1's performance... this is really a :cool: gizmo. What are the critical fuel ##'s I should be looking at?

Regards, Don

KR Anything under 3deg is ok. What type of gas are you running? Is this happening on WOT? What are your Ltrims?

Next time I take the Tech II out to play I'll check the Ltrims.... Didn't see any KR at WOT... but then again I was pretty busy driving.. (need a co-pilot)Chevron 92 is what is the best available up here.
