I may be able to help you out but I don`t know much about knock retard. You can call Chris at Speed Demon Motorsports, he is off of Cutten Rd.

Knock retard isn't to tough. Advance the timing till it starts to 'knock' then retard it a couple degrees. Romp on it loaded and keep retarding till no knock. That was the old way anyways lol all this new puter stuff if ya have ls1 edit i'm sure someone here has what the maximum is before knock begins - judging by some of the posts on the computer board i'm guessing a base of about 25* advance is the norm.
