My rule is less than 4. Especially when the tune is new I don't worry a lot, it should calm down as it learns. You also have to look at when. If its doing it a lot is worse than just some. As sensitive as these knock sensors are, some is expected. Stock I still recorded 1-2 and never put less than 93 in this truck.

3 or less would be ideal especially a tune your gonna drive a lot.


And buy good gas.

My 87 performance is what I called a tame beast. Great stop and go driveability
After 1/2 throttle is beast mode. Smooth linear, progressive acceleration that's feels comfortable. Turbos sing a sweet tune. 3rd gear has a very smooth boost curve that is almost flat with very little drop off at the end

Lol, I wonder which one. The latest track tune is scary, but exactly what I told him I wanted. We shall see...

Sounds like you are much much happier...so that's always good

CoreyMS, I know my 93per tune absolutely blows my 91 p/t out of the water as far as power. I personally preferred it as the DD'er. I went ahead and de-tuned the truck today to see if the misfire happens again.

LET ME SAY---An un-tuned truck sucks big hairy donkey nuts.

I wish my torque app had the kr monitor programmed in it. Then I would definitely be installing an android tablet in place of the radio

Nope, I debated on it...still debating actually. I am 99.99% sure it was condensation...so ideally I would just be looking to get it out. I thought about finding a used one and trying to design a simple trap to hold the water with some type of gauge that would inform me of when it needed to be emptied.

Could be interesting to see just how much is actually produced.

If there was condensation I would def want to make sure its all out.
After having a Damn mouse sneaking into the hole in the fender well for the air intake, that is sure does seem that driving through heavy rain and splashing through water how water could get sucked up in there. I keep forgetting to check to see if the filter is wet after going through rain
