Help with knock (graph inside) I was doing a run on the freeway, at a constant speed, AFR was 12.18 okay a little rich, but if it was lean it would explain it. Spark advance is 26 deg @ 3500rpm. The knock appears then goes away and returns to 26 deg.
Can anyone explain?

I guess its nothing worry about. I got the WB on the drivers side, I guess the passenger side my have had lack of fuel at the point or something. Who knows.... This knock rarely comes up.... so I guess its nothing major, probably false knock.

did I see that right? 152MPH? LOL Good gawd man LOL Your obviously doing a "run". 152mph, IAT @ 199*, spark at 24*, RPM 3500ish...I'd go with real knock if those #'s are correct. IAT at 199* and those enviroments, it's not hard to believe your mixture is pre-igniting. What octane gas?

Thanks for all your replies.

Do you have your stock .bin still? I show timing on a stock '00 M6 at 29* in that range...unless the stock .bin I d/l'ed is incorrect. Either way, 6th is not a racing gear and you really shouldn't be tuning for it. It's a 0.5:1 for crying out loud. 
It's like racing in 21st gear on a mountain bike....you think your legs won't cramp up???

That was IAC on the log was tuning for idle some time ago. I did log IAT(not shown on graph) I'll find it out and post it. The gas used is Shell V-Power, so I guess its 93 octaine or a little higher.

IAC, IAT...boy what a mistake there
. Not used to seeing IAC being logged on a 150+mph run LOL. Got me good. Well then, carrying on, it's common to hear people complain of kr in the "lugging" area, obviosuly at that speed not much "lugging" happening. High MAP low RPM. Even with good afr, spark and every thing. What was the g/cyl? Thread Starter

I'm unsure of the 'Dynamic g/cyl', but did have the 'Calculated g/cyl' enabled in HP tuners, so attached is a pic of 'calculated g/cyl'. At the point of knock 0.68g/cyl and its fluctuating just like the MAF, it seems to do this when 100%tps, when not under so much load the MAF reading is smoother. I do have a de-screened MAF so this could be the culprut of that.
I have a little bit of knock in 5th too, justbefore I changed to 5th, all other signals look resonable stable before/duriung and after the knock in 5th.
I will do some like of Dynamic g/cyl and Calculated g/cyl and see if they are different. If they are different what could that mean? I was going to recalibrate the MAF some time back but I have +4 and -4 adjuments near each other, which kinda let me know to leave it and it would average out about the same. My maf is stock but with anodised MAF ends and no screen.
Perhaps its just a random knock. I wouldn't mind learning more on the g/cyl, I beleive the calulated g/cyl is (MAF g/s * 120) / 8 / RPM, but where does Dynamic G/cyl come from?
