Re: 3rd gear knock... I need expert advice PLEASE

I'm gonna post what Dave Mertz said from the DSMLink forum.... Basically is exactly what Shane said about heat building up. About the only thing i can try is to keep the setting exactly the way they are and get up on a cold or cooler morning and do a few pulls and see. If heat is the culprit, then the knock should go down from the cooler air. Thankfully it has cooled down some and I can take it out again.

BTW- I plan taking this to Rock Falls this Saturday on the $69 test/tune day. That's why i'm trying to weed out bugs NOW so i don't have to waste all day Saturday figuring it out.

**** Quoted from the DSMlink forum ****

By the time you reach third gear, the engine has built up enough heat that knock is more likely. On pump gas, I probably wouldn't worry about the 2 degrees of knock retard. The knock sensor system is doing exactly what it is designed to do.

In fact, besides a different global fuel setting for your larger injectors, for pump gas your settings are nearly identical to what I've run on my Talon for years, producing similar results.
