False knock???

[SSG 5.0]

The plugs color is due to the octane booster, mine have looked the same in the past.

My afr 2 number is way bigger than afr 1.

cant be looking at AFR or lambda during part throttle, it will drive you crazy. look at what both banks do during WOT.

Oh good god. I thought I’m about to break that crankshaft lol.

Seriously, all of my numbers looks identical when going wot. Even my knock sensor max was 2.

LOL easy Jackson.

Lmao!

I’m going to keep checking this knock if y’all know where’s that knock sensor is located, I appreciate it.

Can you send me your log file? I want to look at it on my desktop and turn off certain channels. Particularly where you are WOT and the knock sensor is pulling timing. What I find weird is the nut on my Kenne Bell accessory drive bracket that holds the fuel line under the snot fell off sometime last year and I didn't notice it until I pulled the blow 2 months ago. It was rattling around under the intercooler next to the knock sensors and I still saw less than a reading of 1 on the knock sensors. Hell, with the Kenne Bell lowering mounts and Kooks 1 7/8" headers I have less than 1/8 clearance between the steering shaft and the driver's header and I hardly ever see any knock. My bet is on a bad knock sensor.

Knock sensors are located under the intake manifold. Gray plugs under the fuel rails. Looking at that second plug, it looks like you have oil on the plug, which could indicate blowby. Are you running a catch can?

Whatever that came with the P1X ho are all I got.

This is what I got so far and the rest looks identical on this pic.
One showed a knock of max 20 after I made a sharp right turn “ slow turn”

Thats a 2018+ block. They are in slightly different locations than the 2015 to 17. Gen 2s they are mounted on top on the valley and there are 2 and not 4. Honestly think he has a sensor issue or something is loose and causing false knock.

Just noticed that, but similar location. I agree, it sounds like one of his sensors is malfunctioning, but he's not throwing any codes?

Ya. It could be loose, but it seems weird.

Id like to see his log file so i can view the graph. Here is a e85 1/4 mile run with IATs near 140 degrees, slipping clutch, header tapping on the steering shaft when the throttle is let off and this is all I see. 93 octane is very similar.

Edit: Yes the pass is shit, this made me realize how bad the 3.73s are and nescitated my switching to the 3.31s to avoid the shift to 4th. Also, the RXT was on its last leg and slipping excessively the entire run.

I'm also getting false knock. Had the same tune and setup on the car for 2 years, Whipple Gen 3 stage 2, longtubes and 3.6 pulley. Making around 740whp on 94 pump and zero knock. Had a fuel system installed, 1050x injectors and everything else plus crank sprocket. The blower was removed and the lower intercooler just to check for oil residue, that's it. Now I'm getting all kinds of phantom Knock. On the E85 tune, 21* max timing it was showing 10* knock...lol...my E85 is racing E85R from the barrel and not a pump. Flipped back to my pump gas tune and same thing. Waiting to hear back from my tuner. Maybe the Knock sensors were hit during the removal of the intercooler? They become loose Maybe?

I’m going to try and locate that. Can you see it with the IM installed? I don’t think the IM was removed when the shop installed the Procharger.

That’s crazy man. I hope you get that sorted out too.
