    Might try tossing a gallon of race gas in it next time you go...that trap speed is awfully low for a stock pullied car that doesn't have factory exhaust. I was trapping 14.5-14.7 @ 96-97-ish with a FWI and just a U-Bend Delete and totally pointless 3" exhaust past that. It might be knockin'...so...I'd test that out for the next trip...that and yank everything out of it. Other than that...good run.

    Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if it was knocking hard. Ive never had it scanned and certainly not tuned. Is it worth spending the cash for a good dyno tune on a near stock set up?

    My point was...on a stock pulley with a downpipe...it shouldn't really be knocking at all...are you using 91+ octane in it? The pulley size is stock?

    Oh sorry I misread that. I just assumed my car would be knocking because of all the other gremlins under the hood. (weird electrical stuff) Yeah All the gas stations near me carry 93 octane so thats the only fuel i put in it. I had the TCS off and "Performance Shift" engaged. I had it in drive and it shifted into 4th right before the finish. Should I leave it in 3 instead of D to eliminate that last shift?
