Thank you for the info man much appreciated. I was out and about and just got home. So I noticed I get positive feedbac( 2.3-2.6) when just going like half throttle. It bounces around at times too, from +to-... Still doing the same up top. I bought some octane booster so I'll see if that changes anything.
As far as datalogging unfortunately I have no idea what I would be doing lol. I'd have to look into that more. My tuner is the one that did all my tuning. Owns a shop out here in SOCAL called Addiction Motorsports.
So how do read that knockr gauge? So theoretically I shouldn't be in the positive side at all right? Wether down low or up top..
Just watching the gauge won't do much for you. You really need to see the activity on a spreadsheet. I don't have an ngauge but I heard one of the biggest selling points was ease data logging. It's a little involved on the SCT X4. (mainly building the config file) When you figure out how to do it, log a 3rd (4th if you can do it safely) gear pull from 2k-redline at WOT. Send it to your tuner and have him review the file and see what he thinks. But definitely don't go trying to hunt anything down by looking at the gauge while part throttle normal driving.

Idk if this a weird question but how do we read Ngauge data logs. I recently switched from sct. Is there needed software?

So I went ahead and bought some octane booster and threw it in on top of a full tank of 91. I have to say it was definitely a octane issue because my readings changed from positive to negative. WOT stays around -1.5ish, feels a hell of a lot stronger. Even driving around normally is a lot better and smoother stays at 00 doesn't fluxuate like it used too.

I'm going to go head and take it back to my tuner to get some timing removed so I don't have to hassle with changing gas station and what not.
