Well, that much knock retard with that much boost, you're flirting with another head gasket change REAL soon.

 

[MikeL.]

You've got to have zero knock, especially at that boost level. Up your alky to eliminate the knock or, like you stated, pull back on the boost.

Is there any way to tune out the knock ? Don't really want to turn my boost down. & my pump speed is on 6, do I want to actually go higher than 6 ?

add more wot fuel in the chip

add more wot fuel in the chip

i agree... a wideband would give a better reading but 738 on a narrow band O2 general means your too lean... especially when spraying alky. are you using 91 octane as well?

I've always been told if you don't see AT LEAST 780-800 on the Scanmaster when at the top of 3rd gear, you want to let off....fast.

Scanmaster numbers look good. If it is real knock, then you must back down on the boost or add more alky. Six (6) on the alky knob is just a good starting point. Remember that you use alky for knock suppression. Going from 6 to 8 on the knob isn't making a large difference at all in terms of how much alky is being sprayed (It's the "Initial" setting inside the box that really gets things flowing). Try bumping it up to (8) and see what happens. If you get no knock at all with a little more alky, then you've found your threshold.

If it is real knock, if you bump the alky knob up to, say, 8 and the knock goes away, then there's your answer. I wouldn't recommend running this close though, as you are on the "ragged edge" as some would say.

How does the knock display? Is it a consistent 2.1*? Does it just pop up and then disappear, such as when the tranny shifts? Or does it show up and "stick" throughout the run?

Sometimes O2s of 738 at WOT aren't exactly abnormal. It really has a lot to do with the way that particular sensor is calibrated and how far into a run you are. For example, at 23psi boost, you will probably notice your 02s starting out at a higher number and then slowly decreasing as the sensor heats up...which is normal. They should start somewhere in the neighborhood of the 800's though.

It's hard to tell exactly what's going on with the info given. As I said, I'd say try turning the knob all the way to (8). It's not like you'll be flooding it with alky or anything.

Add alky like 7 or 8
Add fuel through the chip.

Or see if your fuel pump is keeping up with your demand. meaning you should be at a solid 66 PSI fuel at 23 PSI boost.

better start rich then work your way lean. 738 is danger danger land.
