Heh not exactly. It knocked like a SOB on the cruise on that piss BP91 we got in superior. I feel insanely bad if anyone else is having problems as a result of this stuff. When I was logging my hybrid MBC/BCS setup is when I really noticed things getting ugly. I had about 1/4 tank of that piss 91 in it and filled all the way up with local BP93 good stuff but it just continued to knock and the logs did show something crazy like 28 counts one time. I shut it down instantly but who knows if that was the nail in the coffin or what.

Oh, a few days later (after I had noticed it starting to run worse) just AFTER part throttle boost on decel (in gear) the car would let out a short but very noticable billow of blue/black smoke. That's when I knew for sure something was amiss.
