Default got 2* of knock at the track, need some help

A couple of Fridays ago i was doing some data logging at the track, i noticed 2* of knock @4000 rpm, map was @ 100 during that spike as well, i don't quite understand it yet but i uploaded my tune file and my data log, maybe you guys can show me a few pointers on what i should adjust to prevent this from happening, this pass was my best pass to date and resulted in an 11.73 @ 116mph with an lq4 370 fbody car.

thanks in advance guys, i'm off to some more late night reading

You might be hurting your power curve looking at your flat timing. Set your scanner up to look more like a dyno, log your dynamic air & dynamic cylinder air. Use those airflow #'s as your HP & Torque curves just as you do on the dyno. Drag street is an awesome dyno.

Then remove the KR, maybe even reduce the timing in the peak torque area & you will most likely see the power improve.

What about a WB?

the WB was logged standalone from hptuners on he dyno when it was tuned, i was told the numbers were in a respectable range throughout the whole pull.
i will add those PID's shortly and see how they vary from log to log thank you.

Do you know how to setup these PID's? im having a bit of trouble with setting up dynamic air, i believe i have dyn cyl air setup properly by adding the PID from the list.

Open the table, right click on any of the boxes & left click insert. You cannot modify the table if you have a log open, you close the log first.
