    I would say it all goes back to the tune. A good tune would not have knock regardless of what heat range plugs are in at the time. Get the car tuned and the knock should go away. But changing spark plugs to combat KR is not the proper way to mod a car.

    Yeah...so we stuck the bore scope in it and cylinder 3's piston is fubarred. It's got detonation damage, pitting, and from the looks of it a huge chunk is about to come off. It's probably my fault for driving around without a way to check knock after I started modding. I think I'm just gonna sell it and try to find another trans am to put my lt1 in. Lesson learned.
