Is it still running rough after you stomped on it on the freeway and the knock sensor turned red.

You might wanna drop the tank and put a GOOD 255 in it instead of the O'Reillys over the counter one. Hotwire kit would be good. High gear timing is to high cuz I THINK Eric uses MPH to set 3rd gear timing. Too much high gear timing in 3rd gear at WOT ain't good.

Hi everyone sorry its been awile since Ive been on been dealing with these California wild fires and waiting on a chip. So, I ordered a new chip, but I seem to be having the same problem. The car seems to run fine at part throttle but as soon as I get in it it knocks as you can see from the log. Here is the new log with the new chip.

Once again, I do not see anything that looks like real knock.

I gave you a list of things to check the last time.  It still stands.

You are so quick out of the throttle that it is really hard to see which came first, you letting off, or the car pulling timing.  You must have millisecond reflexes.

The car not running right may be due to all the timing that got pulled, or it may be because one of the coil packs, or more, might be bad.  I think Brad mentioned the fuel pump before.

Fire fighting is no picnic, for sure

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

What gear are you in at frame 398. If you're in 3rd gear...then look at your timing. At 4 lbs of boost...what's your fuel pressure.
