now i have 3-4 knock count in 3rd at high 6000rpm and up

everytime i go wot in 3-4-5 my egts jump 1600+ and i can't go over speeds of 160kmh also due to high egt and i'm scared of blowing a spark plug?

is it because i'm still on stock sidemount and pipping or i need to tune it alot better?
 
I recently went through this with a friends car... change the plugs and make sure that you get the right NGK plugs. I'm not exactly sure what the part number is off my head, but they are commenly called "NGK 7's."

Start there and repost. I almost gaurentee that they have something to do with it. Also, make sure that your base timing is right on. If it's too far retarded, your explosion could be happening in the exhaust manifold and causing your EGTs to go through the roof.

^^ do that , also ya could try advancing your timming @ the CAS a little. ( just a few degrees )
 
can you guys give me an idea on what i should set on my hight throttle for the safc. right now i think i have it set at +8 5000rpm all the way to redline

but i'm still seeing like 15-20 knock at 5500-7000
 
the best thing for you to do is go to a dino and tune it every car is not the same so my setting's will differ from your's go to a dino it is the best thing for you :thumb:
