question on datalogging knock retard/timing
I was playing around with my car today and was doing some datalogging, and noticed I had some knock retard on a WOT 2nd gear pull. Does the pid "spark advance for #1 cyl" show the timing before the knock retard and you need to subtract the knock retard value from the timing advance value? My car logged 20 deg timing with almost 7 deg knock retard from 5300rpms to 6200rpms. So was the actual timing I was running 13 deg instead of 20? I am running 93 octane fuel, so I don't see how I could be getting so much knock retard. I only have an airaid cold air intake, jba mid pipes, and factory stock tune.

It would be nice if someone could provide some info and tips on the SCT. I just figured out last night how to change some of the units to English from Metric. With no mods and stock tune, I had about 4 or more deg of knock retard. I believe there are at least 2 pids dealing with knock. I chose the one that Ted had in his list of pids for logging for a custom tune.

My tune isnt stock, so i cant speak directly to what a stock tune should do. That being said, the mail-order tune i got from Ted over at Jannetty Racing never, ever, ever shows more than 2-3 degrees of timing retard from knock. I have watched that gague on my Diablo Trinity for over a year and only seem to see knock when i get a bad batch of gas or am nailing it WOT and not in the right gear, under load (i.e. 3rd gear @ <40 mph). Even then its very rare and usually more like 1 - 1.5 deg being pulled. I personally would be very concerned with that much knock, check to make sure your exhaust is not hitting the tunnel brace. I know that was a common issue with aftermarket exhausts and it has been shown here to set off the knock sensors incorrectly. Other than that, fill er up at a reputable station with the highest octane (91 here in ME, hopefully you can get 93) and maybe some dry-gas just in case. Also, i would check to make sure all the connections are tight on our CAI, if air is making into the system post MAF (i.e. unmetered) you could be leaning the engine out and causing pre-detonation..
Take all that advice with a grain of salt please, im an amateur gear-head at best.

I dont see how that could be though because my car commands 20 deg at the rpm point i had the knock retard kick in and it still logged 20deg with 7 deg knock retard. I would think it should be logging 13 deg because im not comnanding 27 deg at 5800rpms according to the high octane spark table

Even though the timing table will command (X*) at (Y)RPM there are other tables to think of: ECT will pull timing if too high, IAT will pull timing if too high, knock sensors are very sensitive on LS3, there are other tables that will pull timing that I can not think of, tuners chime in as to what else pulls timing

Is there anything that adds timing on top of what the base table uses? I will post my datalog when i get home to see if anyone else can make more sense of it.

Power enrichment rate will increase how fast added timing and added fuel will be introduced, if I remember right stock PE is .02 which is very slow in my opinion

I noticed you guys trying use "*" for degree symbol. Use Alt+248 and you'll get °

PE spark advance in the stock tune is actually fairly aggressive.

In the stock configuration, six degrees of retard is common at WOT. I like to take out some spark before the knock comes on to see how it flows through the effected area. So when I'm tuning a car and the car is breathing in 70 degree air and I get 1 or 2 degrees of knock, I want to take that out because in the summer' hot air, that's going to be 4 + degrees of KR.
