First data log with the Radix
#1
I can't go above 90% throttle until I get a throttle cable bracket (Check my classified ad if you have one) so what does this log mean? I think the knock is false since my truck is a 2000. I have a TR 220/114LSA cam. I also added the TR6 plugs at .037 gap. Am I too rich? This is a stock Radix tune. Thanks for any input.

I can't see the log since I don't have HPT. Can you upgrade to a 2001 OS with HPT? It would be worth it just to get rid of the knock issues with the 2000 OS before tuning.
From the sounds of things though maybe you should pull out some timing across the board to start.

I pulled 3* timing, added a bottle of octane booster, and it's still KRing 6* when I get into it. I might tone down the knock sensors a bit. I had them toned down for a few months before the Radix and never had any probs.
I also hooked a boost gauge into the hose running from the back of the Radix to the FPR and didn't show any boost when accellerating. Is it hooked up wrong? It's not a new gauge but it did show 30# vacuum at idle. Does that sound right?
I also can't hear the supercharger at all with my 3.4 pulley. Is this normal? The exhaust is definitely louder and the truck is a little faster so I think it's boosting.
What would be the symptoms of a leaking intake manifold gasket?
Also FWIW I filled up today and calculated my MPG like I always do and got 14.1. Funny thing is I can't remember the last time I got out of the 13s.
Thanks for any help.

Sorry, I remembered wrong. It's actually 20. I'll see if I can get any boost to show up on it today. With my combo, I would expect 3# at the very minimum. Stock balancer, and the bypass actuator is moving. The main thing I'm worried about is if I damaged an intake gasket because it seems to happen often to other members. Would I smell fuel or be backfiring if I had an intake leak?

LMAO, I don't mean to laugh but, but that decay rate makes that knock look f-ing crazy.
Engine>Spark>Spark Retard> Knock Retard Decay "Decay Rate" table. Some tuners like to leave this alone, but what does your say? I say turn this up. It gets rid of the "ramp". Let's us see more of the instant kr spots. If you have REAL kr, this isn't helping matters as your pcm is now pulling time at each instance of knock instead of letting the decay handle it. This is not a solution, just a troubleshooting method IMO.
Snapping a picture of 113* IAT, 144* ECT (wow that's crazy cold), InjB1 7.7 and InjB2 at 8.8 (HMMM), 80kpa, 25mph, 2800rpm, 41%TPS.
What's your PE settings? Not that I'd want to be in PE in that sceanrio. Crazy low ECT and a whole point off in msec in injector banks, hmm. Post your tune? Is this the maggie tune or your edits?
