put the modify stock tune on with same parameters then did some logging. Right away the knock retard was much higher than the 87 tune. Instead of split second of 1-2 at the highest, I was seeing 3-4 for at least a second at a time. Is that indicative of an issue that the 87 tune is fixing? Going back to 87 tune for now but that seemed alarming. Any insight is greatly appreciated l!!
With the 87 tune, seems it is giving me a little more now too than earlier but seems to be less as the engine gets warmer.
What's normal?
No knock retard at idle or in neutral with same rpm as before

It's quite around here for a popular tuner. Is there another place one should go with questions?waltheraustin wrote:put the modify stock tune on with same parameters then did some logging.

Re: Knock retard
I have never seen a vehicle that had no knock retard at all, even on stock factory tune.. so yes, having some knock retard on the stock tune is normal...

Re: Knock retard
Thanks Lew! I see all kinds of misinformation on the webz but take your word as gold. Where I see blips of knock retard are on the lower gears around 1800 rpm but I guess that is normal. Hope to hop on the custom tune soon06MonteSS wrote:I have never seen a vehicle that had no knock retard at all, even on stock factory tune.. so yes, having some knock retard on the stock tune is normal...
Re: Knock retard
especially if you're at a low rpm but in a high gear and are lugging the engine, you will most definitely see some.. shouldn't really have a lot at WOT when getting on it.. if you are, then the timing/fueling for WOT should be adjusted..
