Timing Retard

[PaulRV6]

Is 10 deg retard too much to see on TL from a blast on to the highway reaching 70 mph and 13 lbs boost?

10* is too much knock but id look for it to be fasle if appropriate octane was used and only 13 psi. see if your DP is hitting or something.

I'm sure it isn't false and I also believe I was building more boost than what TL said I was. Because I was trying to watch the road I was not able to look at the boost gage but I know from past testing that the TL boost data is significantly less what my boost gage reads. I am running 93 octane.

Yeah 10 degrees is too much. Of course this assumes that the knock is real. Can you hear it or is TL just picking up on the knock?
