I deleted it, I know where my problem most likely lies and I don't want to give Chad a bad rep. by someone taking that thread the wrong way and thinking that his engines aren't good-- because they are great engines.
I'm in the process of working my A/F and ignition problems out. I found a scanner and the code was for a bad knock sensor, didn't help me out that much by replacing it, but most likely my car was never tuned properly with a bad knock sensor, so the car is still running pig rich....

I'm sorry but I still dont believe in the LT4 KM. From what Ive learned it doesnt make knock go away when reading it with a logger, it just reduces the amount of timing pulled or something. Ive gotten to the point where I believe with some setups there is no pleasing the damn thing so I'm going to install a switch to by pass it completly when I choose and just let it do what it does during DD.

How did you rule out false knock? I see something like that on really burning hot days but for some reason Ive never seen more than 6.0. I got so pissed with the whole setting I went in and pulled all the timing out until I can get it dynotuned. Funny thing is with around 12 degrees pulled I still see the same knock lol.

yeah a bigger cam, some high dollar heads would make it a beast, but the way they build them they probably drive just like a stock motor, just with alot more power.
