43knock count ?'s

[red91tsiawd]

i have an afc and pocket logger now, the pocket logger says i have 43 count of knock at 6187rpm with 11degree of timing and .73volts, what do i need to do?
P.S.- this is sitting still in the driveway

.73v does sound a little too lean. Rich things up from 5000rpm up and see if you get less knocks.

i have the 550's and the afc is at +8/9 across the board above 4000rpm,
and i'm still getting knock

Doesnt matter. In this case your too lean. Since you didnt say what your other rpm ranges look like, Id say just richen it up at around 6-6.5k about 2% and watch th improvement. How much boost, intake temp, egt????

no boost, this is just sitting in the driveway, i wanted to see what would happen

Don't change anything.
DRIVE the car and put it under load. Sitting in the driveway is doing nothing.

what!!! thats the dumbest post ever!! Why would you post that?? You have to tune with a load on the engine so you can boost. isnt the point of tuning so you can go fast??
