    I have been playing around with the blue tooth obd II and the torque app with the knock detector add in. Today it said i had 1 degree of timing. I have stock pulley, stock tune, stock manifolds, factory plugs, thrasher intake, u bent delete, high flow cat, slp exhaust non resonated. Coolant temp was 185 to 190 unsure of thermostat but think it has been lowered from factory. thinking 185.

    Should i be getting any knock with a stock pulley?

    no thats one degree of kr. lol

    kr cuts your timing back to keep the engine from blowing up.

    U bend delete is the only reason you have only one degree of kr too. with out it im sure you had up to 4 or 5 easy, but stock is fine like that.

    So just a intake and exhaust will get you 4 to 5 KR? Does stock have KR?

    Stock has 5-8° kr

    the lower the number down to 0 is best. When modded 0 is needed

    stock tune and set up is up to 8º kr. tune is crap, the exhaust manifolds suck.

    the intake dont do a damn thing. neither does a cat back.

    its fine, 1 degree is nothing. stock cars can have any where from 2 to 8 or more tho. every cars different.

    Am I reading that you are using the knock detector plugin for torque? If so that is not what you want use to check for KR.
    • Open Torque
    • Go to Settings
    • Go to manage extra PIDs/Sensors
    • Click the 3 dots next to manage custom OBD2 PIDs
    • Add predefined set
    • Click Pontiac/GM/Opel/Vauxhall
    • Go back to the main page
    • Go to realtime Information
    • Click in a blank space
    • Add display
    • Add a gauge - I like the Half Dial meter as it shows you the highest and lowest values
    • Scroll down to knock retard
    • Done
