Might have carboned up chambers from sucking oil... I've seen that cause early knock many times. I would either do the seafoam intake cleaning - or, like us old schoolers do, give it a drink (suck a small cup of water through a drinking straw into a vacuum line at 3,500 rpm - be careful not to let it get too much too quickly). Check the inside of the intake before doing anything and see if you have oil puddled in it - if so, you need to do something for a catch can in the PCV system to stop it...

Notice those times were all during cold months - I doubt they were DA corrected. That and, a wheel tire combo is big. If I run a skinny on my Z, I pick up nearly 4 mph. A tune is not going to make THAT big of a difference in your times (115mph to 123mph) unless something is seriously wrong. The advice offered above is fairly solid. Try it out and see where it gets you. But, don't set your expectations too high. Not everybody has a factory freak. ![Icon Lol](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_lol.gif)

and another question i have. would it be worth getting a bigger maf. i have the stock one on it now and with the vararam, the only way it would fit was butted right to the tb. im on a sd tune right now so should i take it out from between the tb and vararam and mounted on the side somewhere out of the way or spend the money and get some 90mm maf

The last two wires should be the ones for the IAT. If I remember correctly, they're labeled as follows:
D - Violet wire - reference wire
E - Tan wire - IAT signal wire
The IAT can be found at a local parts store for less than $10 I believe. Not sure if it'll come with the rubber gromet though.

@skull-
I hear there is an 04 Mystichrome Terminator in Mt. Airy that was being hunted for?? I am pretty sure he wants to play when you get your tune straight (and maybe some more mods....)

find one person with as many mods and is running the times i am and compare it to the people with less mods and how much faster they are going then me
i cant find my 11.6x at 117 but i think there was something wrong in the timing on that pass because i pulled at 1.69 60ft spinning to around the 100 ft mark. then the fallowing pass i dead hooked and went
11.830 @115.14 on a 1.703 60 ft
115.14 MPH ON A FULL BOLT ON C5Z06 GTFO
top 30 fastest cars on the c5z bolt ons list

Look at Roofer Dave's time. He went 11.7@115. I think it goes to show what I was talking about earlier with regards to DA. Most of those other times were recorded when it was cold out....look at the dates. Maybe you are a touch on the low side for MPH. But as I stated earlier....you're not going to pick up a boatload of MPH unless there's something seriously wrong with the tune.
I think that's what 01ssreda4 was getting at. Every car, track, and driver is different and you need to be careful where you set your expectations.

The fastest list are not the norm. No other way to look at it. These times were likely produce with all bias towards ET including things like weather. If it was so easy we'd all be on the list. Setting a benchmark for an average car from these lists will always leave you disappointed. The minute you make the list, you'll know your car is far from "average" at that point you've come to....simply proving my point.

Exactly I don't even care about running the e.t. I care my car is missing 5+ mph in trap speed. Personally I think I should trap 122 with no questions asked on a pretty good run regardless of da. Now if the moons were aligned and an eclipse was happening. I think the car should trap 126 maybe 127

You'll need about 460~470rwhp to do that...
