ok

ok
so here we have another car whose owner has / had the same opinion expressed by your self



he no longer has that opinion

most cars when driven at WOT will show 1 or 2 kw retard on one or two cylinders at close to max calculated load , no car when operating at cruise in good condition at 40% calculated load shows knock retard of this magnitude ...
unless
the
system
has
been
tampered with .

if you have tampered with your system and advanced your base ignition timing
and
your system can not perform as graphed above
your system has a serious problem
