i hear detonation when boost is created under 2500~2700 RPM
i tried to richen it up 5% by predator but it still does it
i changed fuel filter but it still does that...

what do yall think is the problem...weather? or tune?
and if its weather, what should i do to prevent detonation?

thanks! :)

If you are experiencing Detonation, two things could cause this and they are the programming you are using and also the octane rating of the fuel is not high enough. Check that out, as you might want to change the sparkplugs out for a set of NGK TR6's and gap them at .037 for added safety measures against Detonaion and a good tune. :thumbsup:

That is good advise.
If you hear it detonating back out of the throttle it is doing bad things to your engine and will hurt it. Get it fixed ASAP.

Try going up another 5% on fuel and backing your timing down with Predator.
