I've got a 2017 with the Gen3 stage 2, running the Whipple Cal.

I live in BC, Canada which notoriously has pretty bad fuel. I run 94 octane rated Chevron. Because of this, I bought an nGauge to monitor things like knock etc.

On some 2nd and 3rd gear pulls, KNOCK is sustained at 3+, peaking at 5, which seems concerning to me.

I am new to datalogging, but it looks like the lambda is around 0.85 at WOT (which i understand to be normal). Timing (SPARK PID) was around 15 degrees (is this a corrected value after the knock sensors pull timing?). Vacuum at idle is 20inches.

Car runs smooth otherwise, idles OK.

Is 4-5 KNOCK something to be concerned about (as in do not drive the car hard)?

I can upload a datalog to look at... what PIDs should i record?

Are you on the low octane setting in the software?

I didn't realize this was an option in Flare. I turned it on and i see now that i have negative knock (the ecu is adding timing to the tamed down spark tables).

So it is definitely my fuel. I'll try some boostane with the regular tune and see how that goes.

Thanks so much!
