    it was the tune. and i forgot to plug the vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator. fuel trims are pretty close to 0, which surprises me because I haven't made any maf adjustments.

    I built a stethoscope for the engine and had a friend ride shotgun with the computer in his lap with the ear muffs on to listen to the engine and he said he could hear detonation, only on one pull, the next pull was clean and he didn't hear anything

    on a side note, i think i'm spraying too much water. I will have to swap nozzles for the medium or turn the water spray off. car felt like a turd at full throttle.

    Soon as I get my brake and fuel lines fixed I'm gonna make me some of those knock muffs. I'm curious how much false knock these have. That knock muff build you posted said that once you start modding your car, stock knock sensors aren't as reliable since the sensors were tuned around the stock engine.

    that article was really interesting. makes me wonder how much power I would be making with a dual nozzle and 50/50 water/methanol. since i'm spraying water only I think I need to decrease the nozzle size.
