Here is my log with the timing pulled. I pulled exactly where you said, seems like the knock is still present albeit in a different location than where we talked about. Going to pull four more degrees up to 2600 and see what happens. If nothing then I will add octane booster

Okay knock is definitely false knock in terms of spark. It is every time I step on the pedal instead 8 degrees so I am moving on from that. I will try the octane booster real quick but I do not believe this to be an issue.

This is after octane booster. WTF
I am driving exactly as I was previously. No way, there is no way that I got the equivalent of water out of a 93 pump and it caused me to have these massive issues.

@1FastBrick
I'm not sure your ***** could reach far enough down to open the hole up. Must've used a funnel

Throw this hunk of junk in the gutter and go buy another. JK

You've had a heck of a time it seems like though.

Have you driven an extended distance in a while other than playing around with the tunes?

It runs fine (safely) right? just kinda smokes and sounds rough?

throw some octane booster in it and get out and take it for a 30min drive running it in different rpms fast slow ect. Could even drain tank and refill with "good" gas... well hopefully good.

Extended distance meaning how far? My answer is no. I did a 12 mile loop but that is it. I have not tried to drive to work, 13 miles, and back yet or farther.

Yes, yes, no. Sounds perfect.

I added a whole can of race gas concentrate last night which is when the knock went away. I may revert it to the original tune file and then go on a drive. I plan on adding some of the STP Gas Treatment and I probably will fill up at a gas station with 93 or maybe just let the tank keep running down. Probably have around 20 gallons left.

I think I would want to take a longer drive than that (2-3x that 12 miles) being its sat a decent amount and try to drain the tank down some before putting in new. You would only be putting what 4 gallons of the good stuff in and once that mixes I doubt it would change it really. old/new 50/50 or 25/75 would be much better to test if thats the problem.

Yeah I will just do some laps on that 12 mile circuit tonight. Still tossing in that gas treatment though.
