    a friend of mine has a series 2 3800 and he is running -16 at idle and as soon as he passes 300rpm he goes +16 lean and hits over 8 on knock...what can cause this?

    If it's going that lean, and knocking that much, it's probably lean.
    check the MAF, TPS or the O2 to make sure they aren't on the fritz?
