Default Help W/ S/C timing....

Ok I have been getting knock and this was suppose to be a super safe tune from ECS but I heard the lovely marbles in a can noise getting on it one day. Ever since then I can't get it to go away.. take a look at my current timing table vs my ECS tune...

Current...




ECS....




Currently I am only maken about 5-6 boost max...

What can be causing this?? I mean I keep lower the timing and I don't know how much lower I have to go.... It does have a slight hesitation when you start to go WOT, probaly due to the fact the timing drops off so dramatic...

Any help appericatied....

no..i haven't added more fuel... i am already running 10.5 A/F at WOT.... could it just be false knock? I mean i took the car out again and was loggin some data and was still getting 10-11* of knock retard... and that is w/ no adavance at all 0* of timing...

here are some screen caps




it's being gion on for awhile... but would come and go...i don't beat the car so when i did get into WOT it was only once and a while.... i thought maybe some bad gas but lately i have been running Sunco 94

the only other thing that i can possible think would cause this is the Hurst shifter in a c5 rattles when you get to a certain RPM and how much load is on the tranny.... i have no load on the car it won't get any knock retard.... goin up a hill or mashing the gas at 2.5k will make her ping....

Sometimes the KR will show up in the cell after the one that is causing it. Something to do with real time delays between the knock, the computer response, and the engine acceleration. Btw, have you tried different gas. Sometimes the stations end up with the wrong product in their tanks. Last year in San Antonio, one of the gas stations had a good bit of diesel accidentally mixed into their premium tank.
