Yesterday I did a few pulls with DSMlink for the first time and found out I was making 330hp. I know there is a lot more potential in my car as I had the boost set around 17 psi but it would creep to around 20 psi at 7000 rpm. I also saw .7 degrees of knock.

I am hoping to make about 360-370 hp as that would be plenty for a DD. (For now.) If I increase the boost to around 20-22 psi should I make any adjustments to fuel?
Also is the .7 degrees of knock anything to worry about? If I do need to make adjustments to fuel do I just add a tick on the sliders at the rpm where I see knock or do I add a tick across the whole rpm range (on DSMlink)?


I am pretty new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated!!:thumb:

You may definitely want to take a little timing out if youre increasing the boost a few psi, especially if you're getting knock now. As far as fuel, that's what you're wideband will tell you.
What is the dsmlink conversion for knock? Is 7degrees the same as 7counts?
 
.7* is about 2 counts of knock nothing to worry about. 1* of knock is same as 1 click of timing. so if you were getting 1* of knock you would pull the timing slider 1 click down at the rpm knock was encountered.
