Whipple Datalog - Knock Activity

[rakin.it.in]

Can someone educate me regarding Knock Activity? Is there a safe range for Forced Induction systems?

Below are my past experiences when performing Datalogs with the current modifications at the time. I do have all logs saved if anyone is interested to review.

Prior to Whipple Upgrade
- Mods: JLT Intake with Bama 93 Performance Tune and Ford Racing Borla Sport Catback. All other mods unrelated as it still on the vehicle. 93 octane in the tank (mixed 91 and 100 octane to make 93)
- Datalog: File name "Screenshot_20160211.jpg". My last datalog before the Whipple Upgrade, I experienced 2.25 degrees of knocking. This is after I re-tightened exhaust bolts, checked intake and TB for any loose bolts.

After Whipple Install
- Mods: Whipple Stage 2 Kit (74 lb Inj, Dual Fans, Upgraded Intercooler pump, 6-rib, 132mm TB), FR Borla Sport Catback. 93 Octane in the tank and knock limiting off on Flare device
- Datalog: File name "Screenshot_20160325.jpg". I experienced 0.74 degrees of knocking on 3rd gear WOT.

Most Recent Datalog
- Mods: Whipple Stage 2 Kit plus 0.025" Bypass Restrictor, Stock Exhaust and 91 Octane in tank with Knock limiting off on Flare device.
- Datalog: File name "Screenshot_20160529.jpg". I experienced 2.39 and 1.84 degrees of knocking on 3rd and 4th gear WOT, respectfully.

Is this a concern or is it typical?

Comparing to my logs I only saw knock when I had poor fuel quality. I just recently logged with 93 and I have the 3.625 pulley I had 0 knock I was actually adding timing up to 22 deg

I just checked mine, and seen a -5 at WOT on the Dyno with 21 degrees timing.....Is that something to worry about? I know nothing at all about this, but looking at the graph made me check a log.

Anything (-) negative is good.... Means it likes what it is monitoring and adding timing.

22* on 93 octane?! Bye bye motor lol

The whipple logs that I have seen, that tune is amazing. There are times that I wish I would have went that route.

I have found 20-22* on 93 to be the normal on 93 with the whipple cal. On my previous coyote with a v3 and custom tune I only saw around 16* on 93.

I have Whipple's Flare tool and the flight control, with their tune. What else do I need to data log with?

Same here about having the Whipple cal and Flare/Fligh Control. How are people data logging?

SCT X4 cant datalog with flare tool yet

The logs that I have seen were taken with a SCT. With what I have seen, the whipple calibration will make a lot more power than other tunes.

I borrow my brothers SCT x4 to perform the datalogs. Prior to doing so you'll need to download LiveLink and create a datalog configuration file. I received my configuration file from Whipple.
