how many degrees of timing was it pulling? there's a good chance u mightve had regular gas aka bad gas in there too! a gas station did that to me once. the one time i didnt check to make sure he was putting 93 in, AFTER I TOLD HIM TO PUT IN 93! i didnt notice the sparkknock until i beat on the car a lil, starting @ 4k rpm. im thinking u had bad gas in there. be careful with race gas, unleaded is good, but leaded gas will mess with or burnout your 02 sensors. Also, what did you gap your plugs at? i believe mine is set @ .035 or .038 not .060 like stock

Yes. tunning can make all the difference, Odds are you need to adjust the airfuel and timming.
