Yeehaw!!!  A little KR reminds you to stay on track ;)

+7 KR at WOT would have left a bacon strip in my shorts for sure.


Hah, yeah it was around 103° out with boost temps in the 120's. Defently an oh s*** moment.

Another example of how well these engines can protect themselves.
Around 0 degrees and E-45 ish is another example, LOL....

Running on the edge....all in the name of science of course.

Are you still running corn with the meth?
No corn for me. It's a 2 hr drive to restock my jugs and I just can't find the time to make the trip right now.

Hard to justify considering how quick I burn through it.

I am able to pull -6kr under heavy load before meth injection comes on so I'd say my fuel is potent enough for now. I thank ar9200 for my knock resistance.
Weird....my 13 only had a negative range of 5, and the 15 is -4
Mine goes all the way to -8 to +8.
Well WTH?

I wonder what the difference is?

Anybody else see that range on the KR gauge?
Could it be the formula I've used for my knock gauge?

Here is when I had -5kr

Do you have a screen shot of the pid from the manage extra pid section of torque?

I was driving on the highway today on a grooved road under construction when a small rock just came under a big 18 wheeler and hit the bottom portion on my windshield about a inch away from the cowl cover,another thing to worry about. Z

Damn that sucks z.
Make sure it's a oem replacement windshield when it's replaced with sound screen laminate.

Made in China. It was like looking through a coke bottle.

That's a nasty crack, Z, totally empathize!  Was that 18 wheeler equipped with mud flaps?

So I did a little testing with the car today. Had it loaded up with around 450 lbs of gear.

Found out it won't build more than 5-6 psi on a wot downshift. No matter what gear it just won't do it.

1st and 2nd gear pull hard but 3rd and up are sluggish. Not sure why it would pull boost when there is no knock and meth is spraying.

Also my CM voltage is hovering around 13.7 with ac and cooled seats on. Seems lower than I'd like.

Wow, was it a teridactal? That's one huge bird (torpedo with wings). It had to threaten the undergarments with a "bacon strip"(<---stole that).

Aren't they supposed to be targeting airplanes?  Are they bringing the war to the ground?

The wife said it was an eagle flying in the median which banked left right as she got up on it. It hit with enough force that occupants in the back seat were peppered with glass.
