Re: knock retard question using autotap
what octain are you running? are you on the stock tune? what are the mv readings of the o2s? the ls1 has a bad tendancy to get false KR can you actually hear it detonating?

Re: knock retard question using autotap
You are not too bad on KR, from a safety standpoint. If it is less than 4 degrees, the computer has room to compensate, based on the Max Retard values in the PCM tables.
However, repeated KR (no one is ballsy enough to say how much and how often that is), the PCM could transfer you to the Low Octane Spark Advance table, which has lower timing. 1 or 2 degrees of KR is generally considered to be acceptable. I try to avoid anything greater than 3 degrees of KR.
However, some will say ANY KR is bad because it may make you shake hands with the Low Octane devil... I mean, table.
Any comments on this?

Re: knock retard question using autotap
I agree with black ls1 that your KR is not that bad but if your like alot of us we put alot of time and $ into our cars. so why overlook somthing like this? But on the other hand if you cant hear any detonation, it could be another case of the infamous false knock. you could try a good top end engine cleaner alot of people have had good luck with them.
