Help !!! Alky installed = knock

[BMF_Racing]

Well here goes, i have just installed the alky kit on the t-type using 100% methenol. For now it is a simple hobbs turn on/off kit that is set to turn on at 7 psi. The pump is a new snow performance 150/180 psi pump. The nozzel is also snow performance, 375 ml/min (29.55ml = 1fl oz or 5.948 gal/hr) I did some test pulls and readings on the scanmaster are between 860 to 900 and degrees of retard knock are 1.9 to 3.3 and this is only with 15.5 16 psi boost. on the LM-1 wideband it will start out at 10.4 and then drop to 9.9 and slowly make its way up to 10.2, (so its big rich). why am I getting knock so soon, with only 15.5 to 16 psi ??? Could it be the Red's 93 chip ( too much timing ?). The first pull I did turn up the boost to spike 20 and hold 18.5 psi, but only stayed in it for a second or two because knock was bad --> 9.8 degrees .

Full mod list:

if not listed its stock,

- 3 1/2" flex cold air intake w/k&n
- 36lb injectors
- adj fuel pressure reg. set @ 43 psi
- Red's volt booster
- Red's fuel pump w/hot wire kit
- Red's 93 chip
- t-bolt intercooler clamps
- 3" thdp no cat w/Y-cutout into dual 2 1/2"
- adj wga
- Buscher manual boost controller
- autometer phantom boost/vac 20/30
- scanmaster 2.0
- innovate lm-1
- 35,000 gvw trans-cooler
- vacum canister for brakes.
- 160 t-stat maybe ?? scanmaster ranges from 160 to 173 degrees coolant temp


any help is appreciated because in still new to the TR's.

thanks,

Brad

first of all that chip you have is probably 20 and 18 on the timing so its not high as for your knock i think it is too rich and you can get knock from that. you need to get a chip from eric marshall because the timing is higher and that would probably get your o2's down. did youtune the car for no knock without the alky? that should be your first project as for your a/f ratio 9's and 10's are way to rich even at 20 psi with low timing will net a rich tune and some knock if i were you i would shut the alky off and start with a 93 chip tune or get erics chip and start with 12 psi with alky off and tune from there. if it still an issue i would contact snow performance
