Trip home from walmart. Did a 2nd and 3rd gear pull. Please, help with the knock im seeing in 3rd. My mafcomps are not perfect but much better now. I havent done a BLT, but as you can see it doesnt go rich under boost, if theres a leak its very very small. However, i do realize my idle is a bit outta whack, comps are higher than necessary and i can tweak my deadtimes too a bit. But its perfectly useable right now. Just looking for any help or areas i need to improve on. All mods up to date in my profile, this is a pte 5858 on 93oct. Id love to think im just a tad lean in 3rd and thats why the knock is there. Im hoping i dont have to pull timing. As u can see, im on evo8mod1 tables with a little work in the maxoct fuel DA. Not much, didnt want to f anything up:thumb:

Well, no views even LOL. Anyway, i did some more(necessary) mafcomps before i left tonight to meet up with some people. Yea, its fn fast. Damn. All she needed was a touch more fuel and i now see only 1degree knockret in 3rd pulls.
Bad part: Im pretty sure that sachs clutch i got is not gonna hold the power. Its around 1k miles old and only 500 have been with my setup now, rest stock and treated well. Its a heavy duty racing clutch, six puck, atleast thats what oreillys bills it as. I figured roughly 325 at the wheels with a good tune at 23 psi, i sure thought this clutch would take way more but sadly it slipped in a 3rd gear pull after the mafcomps i did and got rid of knock. The extra power made it buckle. PP isnt strong enough i would guess
