detonation is caused by a lean condition on the cylinder specially (5,6), buy a power plate and you will safe yourself some headaches, it also cause by overboosting the car but once again your back to leaning the car out when you start to boost..

And the main way to reduce detonation would be higher octane gas, right?
I heard adding 3 gallons of Xylene to 9 gallons of 93 Octane gas will make the Octane rating around 100..is this true?
Is this a good Idea??
I currently get quite a bit of detonation so I'm looking for ways to reduce it..
I also heard one reason for the high amount of detonation could be a clogged fuel filter, which would cause it to run too lean..Is this also true?
Thanks
My fuel pump doesn't drone, it whines in the tank. It's a Walbro 307, and it can easily be heard if my car is on and I walk to the rear quarters on the car. To check for a hot-wire kit, look at the back of the alternator, and there will be a screw there, with wires hooked up to it. Follow each wire till you find out where they end. You want to find one that ends at the fuel tank. My hot-wire kit goes from the back of the alt., then to the driver's side front quarter panel, where there is a fuse, and we placed it next to the other fuses and relays right there, then it goes under the car along the brake lines, it always stays on the driver's side of the car. Good luck.Originally posted by Black1986Beast
I just checked it, it sounds internal to me...so now what?
Also, what about the drone sound??
And how do I know if it's hot-wired??
Also, the knock doesn't occur AT 10psi, it occurs passed 10psi because I remember looking at the guage and there was no knock at 10psi...so it had to occur passed it
