Car is detonating like crazy!

Post by Mike_Levy »

Just ran a log on my car. Anything over 4000 rpm, way upto 6600, there's upto 7.5° KR when on the pedal. Its like when I'm on the pedal, the motor goers lean and the KR shhots up. This is on a canned 93 CAI tune, with Mobil 93 octane in the tank. Whats going on? Is this most likely a bad tank of gas, or is the E10 causing problems? I'm seriously considering changing over to the 91 CAI tune. :(

A CMR dyno tune will come after the holidays, but I gotta keep the motor in one piece until then.

I get a lot of part throttle knock on my 06 srt8 with both 91 and 93 tunes. I also see WOT knock as well. I've filled up with several gas stations and noticed about the same for most of the brands. I tried pulling timing out and didn't see much change. Should I actually be adding fuel instead of trying to pull timing?

I tried fooling with the canned tunes but with the bad fuel around here I didn't have much success (still showed 5.5 KR at some points). Like someone suggested, get a cmr tune. It's WELL worth the money. I have no KR now and the car wails.

Actually it was going to be you guys who I was gonna have do it. :D

One of the guys on the 300C Forum is getting together a whole group to come by and have CMRs done. Not sure if he spoke to anybody there about it yet.
