Thats why i changed, they would never adjust the tune and blame it on bad gas. Switched tuners and no more knock. Its amazing what a tuner can do when he cares about your car like its his own.
New tube was sent to soften timing. Going to load it now.

Maybe it actually is mixed blend winter gas and has nothing to do with who the tuner is....:whistle1:

Id believe that if i didnt have over 30 revisions from Lund and all of them had knock. Eventually they blamed it on bad gas. Im sure 15 different stations all had bad gas at different times in the year.

I have had knock due to shitty winter gas, they leave a lot more aromatics in, I doubt they even know the octane is 91 any more under typical driving conditions.. I'm just a little more careful on the shoulder of my driving season, no loading up hills at a lower rpm, etc.

I added some octane booster and knock went away. I guess I have to find better gas.

Or go flex fuel tune.

They might also have too much timing into the tune

Well before this shitty winter blend hit, all was fine.

Anyone running strange adjustable struts?

I organized my pile of parts that needs put on the car and put all the extra parts from previous upgrades into storage

Yes. They do the job for street and drag well. If you are trying to corner carve the best I can tell you is they make a guy who does not attend autox or road race very happy with clicks to spare

That is awesome, I just bought some better lowering springs from BMR and want to replace the struts while I am at it.

I run them. I'm on my second set.

To be honest I'm a little disappointed with
How long my first set lasted before needing replaced.

But for the price they are worth it I guess.

It's so fuckin weird that he doesn't just hit the damn quote button to respond, but goes through the trouble of listing only the pic ...
