Ah! I see why you went so high with the fuel pressure now. Lean + turbo usually is not good on pistons and blocks!

I'm topping out at 110F with my WAI per SG. It is actually higher, but I have 2 resistors on the IAT (1 on each wire) to advance timing, and that tricks the computer to seeing cooler IAT's than it really is. I would not doubt I am running 130-150F actual temps. I will be removing one, if not both, resistors to bring my part throttle timing back down. I have been spark knocking far too long, and this is while running 93!

On a different note, the gas station that I have been using for the past few months is getting changed from a Hess to a Speedway!



Gas - $8.88, Diesel - $9.99... I can see the future on their sign lol

I'm in need of gas, so it looks like I will be switching gas stations yet again. I will be going to the Wal-Mart that is a 1/4 mile down the road. 93 octane is the same price I might try 87 for a tank and see how that does running lean.

With regards to FE, here is what I am getting at he moment on my instant readout. These are close approximations, and they might seem to be patterned. I can assure this is how it is. I have never heard of a car dropping 1 mpg for every 1 mph over the best mpg speed!

40 mph - ~70 mpg
45 mph - ~65 mpg
50 mph - ~60 mpg
55 mph - ~55 mpg
60 mph - I assume ~50 mpg, but i never drive this fast!
Please explain the bold text. You were knocking ????
