knock issues I just put over 500 miles on my stroker 383. It's been running fine except the 2 times I tried to floor it and it wouldnt shift. It hit 7000rpms before I relized something is screwy. That next day I had my scanmaster installed. I noticed I get 3.0-5.0 degrees of knock when at 85% throttle and at wot I saw 6.0. didnt notice any during normal driving until today. Today I had my wideband installed. The battery was disconnected at one point. Now I get knock whenever I touch the gas just a little. It's odd that it's doing now. I'm thinking the computer just needs to relearn some things since it was reset but I could be way off. I'm working on getting 2 gallons of race fuel tonight to see if that helps. I'm starting to worry that I may have screwed something up when the stupid tranny crapped out. A/F has been in the 14.7-15.3 range when cruising and at idle. Any suggestions or thoughts?
YES LT1 cars have it

Well I added a full bottle of Torco mach series accelerator and it actually helped alot. I added a full bottle to a full tank. I still get knock but not as much as before. were as before I would get it just by giving it some gas, now I have to go harder to see knock which is still around 5 degrees. I think ill add another bottle just for the heck of it to see how it reacts. Took me till almost midnight to get this bottle.

Update
the highest fuel here is 89 mabey 91. I poured 2 cans of the addative and I still get up to 6.0 knock. some things I noticed was it's starting to warm up here so mabey that's playing a part. with all the torco I used I'm starting to think it's false knock. I have the stock 94 lt1 knock module.

Well here's another update. Tonight was alot cooler than the day was and doing the same driving I saw mabey 0.1 degrees of knock. I guess it's the heat + my c/r + the crappy fuel = knock. I need to find a solution to driving it in the hot weather. It's only going to get hotter here, way hotter.
