thanks thats a great thread
 
Not able to view the log here, what kind of boost are you running? I have been running the 7's for several years now & thought I'd try the 8's as I was going to the track & thought they may help with knock running 22 psi. Installed them the day before & seemed to get more knock then with the 7's. Got to the track did several runs & they all knocked. Switched back to the 7's & knock was basically gone. Don't know why but the 8's didn't seem to work at all for me.

I have some of the BR7ES plugs on order (non projected tip), so was going to give these a try as well, to see how they compare.
 
why dont you post that up on the dsmlink forums, you will get much more accurate help their. Im assuming from the file name layout, its a DSMLink log.
