Also; premium could potentially help out, but you will have to crunch the #'s of economy with higher ignition settings and PUG VS RUG with stockish ignition settings.


Typically the toyota ecu pulls much more timing than is necessary to "save" the engine from damage when the timing is advanced.

An old MKIII supra trick is to wrap the threads of the knock sensor with teflon tape (don't forget to ground the sensor!) to partially insulate the knock sensor from knock and there by allowing you to run just a little bit more knock than the factory would allow.

Another trick is to re-wire the knock sensors with rg6 to insulate the signal from EMF, give a cleaner, more accurate knock signal, and allow just a little bit more knock as well.
