you shouldn't get any knock counts.. lol


I usually get a few while starting the car and i get a few if i hit the rev limiter when the engine goes lean. I run 89 with 10% corn @ 9.8:1 scr...

I did use the INT this weekend to re-tune my idle VE, Joseph is right.. it is much faster reacting to VE table changes. If you can get someone else to drive your car while you tune with the INT that's great.. shouldn't take long to dial in the tables. I still prefer to use the BLM's though since i'm usually the one driving and i can use the datalogs to graph the BLM's and MAP loads more accuretly.

in the end, whatever works best for you.

Given the rarity and cost of 284's I don't let anyone else drive my car... lol. Well, I've let a handful of people on this board that I trust drive it, and that is it, lol. Ben has my tune really dialed in well. I think for 10 minutes of scans and getting on it about 33% of the time in the whole drive, I had around 10 counts of knock total. I would have to go over them to be sure, but I know it is extremely low.

GM Top Engine Cleaner might go a long way to reducing KR.

Lock your BLM at 128 and tune with the INT alone (as long as you aren't off the charts). Its the way to go cause BLM is so slow. Set the min int to 50 and max to 200. If your BLM isn't 110 or 150, you should be ok to lock it. I prefer to get the BLM in the high 11x to low 140s range or better first. Beats adding BLM and INT, then dividing by 2. Thats all BLM is doing with the INT anyway.
