Tuning For Detonation

Bewy said

Well, Yellow Rose, smart fella who claims no problem running 'high compression pump gas engines' with no problems....
This thread is about somebody who IS having problems.
And THIS threads shows that sometimes it doesn't work. Maybe you are not as smart as you think you are......

Every individual step I've taken so far has made a positive difference. To me, this is hot rodding 101. This is what it's all about. As far as I'm concerned, this is actually a good problem to have. Kinda like tire spin at the strip. You know there's power to be made. With 175 PSI cranking pressure there's a lot of potential for power there. I'm not afraid to try to tune for it and just coincidentally, tuning to get rid of detonation, in this case will help get to that power. I think it's fun. It's a challenge. That's the whole point of me creating this thread. So all of you could follow along and maybe we could all learn something together, whether through my success or failure. As far as I'm concerned, I'm already successful. I can drive the car, everyday and without ever having spark knock. It only does it now when I absolute crowd the hell out of it.....and I've not test driven it since I put the 160 thermostat in last night.

Here's a thought. If any of you don't like this thread and don't appreciate it for its contributions, how about just staying out of it?
