    I've got the Z7 kit with IC.. Its running 10 PSI boost at WOT, the car was tuned about a month ago and running fine with 2* knock max
    Just over the last few days whenever I go to WOT the car kicks in and out of power (like TC) then I see 7* knock and up to 14 at the end of a gear...
    I was told it feels like the car was starving for air, I don't know if that makes a huge difference or not but the filter is kind of dirty so I'm going to clean it out. Other then that what kind of issues would make this randomly happen?

    *Problem solved* ECT sensor wire was hitting the exhaust pipe causing it to melt and short out. Replaced the wire and sensor and it runs great.. for now haha
