I did a WOT run tonight from 55 mph to 75 mph and got 130 knock counts. I am running a stock spark table. On a brand new O2 (today) it displayed well over .900 volts. I also did a WOT run tonight from a dead stop to about 90 mph and got maybe 1 knock count. Why would this happen? Tranny shifting down? My BLMs are next to perfect. I'm going to have a nightmare about this

The stock spark table is probably why its doing that. While the newer tbis have a nice tpi like, but less aggressive spark curve, the earlier systems (ours) have the crappy Swiss Alps looking timing table.

Doh...I guess I will pull some timing while I am doing the fueling.
