i alredy did the egr inside the intake mod, and stupidly descreened my MAF , now wondertin what else i can do fro free that would help? also i have the 99 and somone said i could do something with the false knock or something like sauderin wires together to get more power, any help is appreciated.

 

Ya can bypass the coolant going through the TB and make a restrictor plate for the EGR. Don't expect much but it'll give ya something to do. hahaha

PM 99silver5.3 about false knock. You need to be 100% sure it's false knock (which it probably is) buy running some 100+ octane gas on a stock timing table. If it's false then you'll need to solder in some resistors into the knock sensors to desensitize them. Not too hard but Jared's truck runs a lot better with that fixed and now that it's flashed with the '01 spark table.

 

where do i get that high octane stuff from and also , do i have to put it on a computer or sumthin, where are the sensors? how would i do this.. im not dumb just confused, new termanology.

 

Make your own... Toulene or Xylene and 91+ gas. ~4 gal of 91+ and 1 of the booster. Should be in the 97-103 octane area depending on what you use to boost the octane count.

You're gonna need some scan tool to check Knock Retard. It'll probably be like 8*. Once you have a tank of that high octane crap and you got KR on stock timing tables you'll have to solder in some resistors. That's all I can really tell ya as I never knew about the KR on my old '99 Z71 and now roll an '01. It's a pretty simple fix I know, you may have to pop the intake manifold too.
