Thread: 9.11 lbs of boost with stock pulley?

On my DD (which was stock at one time lol) i took her to the track in stock form. I went 14.8@94.4 on my first pass with a log showing me 5* of kr. I know for a fact that my car isn't "detonating" so what i did was turn off the knock sensors in this case. I went the very next pass and made a 14.4@98.7mph changing NOTHING but the knock sensors. It's just not possible for a stock 3800 to have real knock, it's completely fake, period. What it is, sensors that are just way to sensitive. I have not had this situation handed to me with one of my customers cars, but it did with my own, and i took care of it lol.

Some stock L67's knock.

Some stock L36's knock.

You're a ****ing idiot for thinking otherwise, and even more-so for doing a full quarter mile without knock sensors and with 5* of knock retard.

Please explain how it's not possible for a stock 3800 to have knock?
