I have my boost set at 13, but it sometimes spikes to 18 and drops down to 16 when I downshift on the freeway. I always put 92 octane gas in her. Is it normal to be knocking when you're barely on the throttle, because when I press the gas alittle on the freeway, knock starts to jump and then when I floor it all the way, it doesnt have knock. If the Timing advance has anything to do with it then thats probably one of my problems, knock jumps up when my timing doesnt advance enough. I was running 16 lbs for a month or so with boost spike, I wonder how bad that must've been. So I'm a little confused with this knock stuff....exactly how bad is 43 counts of knock or any counts of knock at all? :headache:
