Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got my d1 setup and front mount on my car my car has 408 dart heads etc. Car put down a little over 700. Drove fine whenn i went a picked it up and drove it around all day in raleigh where the shop was that does all my work. As soon as i get home it starts ******* up spark plugs by dentonation. Ive changed like four set of plugs since last night. The car has had tr8's, and br7ef's, now i think it has autolite 103's do i need to put race gas mix or is something wrong with tune. I think just adding race mix will stop the detnation. Thanks for any inputs guys.
I would try a new tank of gas first to just see if it works. You also should consider picking a good wideband. It never hurts to keep an eye on things. If the gas and the afr's are good then I would take it back to the tuner and let then check it out.

Hopeful it was just a bad tank of gas. I have had truckers tell me that if the get to a station and they have too much of 1 octane that they'll have them put it in another tank (mixing the gas/octanes).

If the race gas solves it, and it comes back again when you fill it up with pump, then it sounds like too much timing. I'd probably pull like 6 degrees, drive it a while in different conditions to get a feel for it, then start adding it back a degree at a time. Any detonation bad enough to mess up 4 sets of plugs is bad ****. Can you actually hear it pinging?
May be time for a meth setup.

The Diamond Shamrock stations in San Antonio had a batch of kerosene or diesel (I don't remember which) in their premium tanks a couple of years ago. The resulting lawsuits made the news. Hopefully he just got a bad tank of gas.
