wished I had done it a long time ago...!
the car is a full rs conversion running Pastore code, "I think". initially backed the spring all the way out. running 93 oct at sea level. first spin with it, I did hear some pinging in second at WOT and the ecu never backed off on the timing, saw ~26lbs on the gauge, no spiking. Was a little nervous about the pinging.... took it out on the highway and MAN-O-MAN... what a difference. Back on city streets, a couple more WOT's and no more ping. Hmmmm, let me try that again, and again, and again... 8-) No ping at all.
Today is day two. More "experiments"... 8-) Still no ping !
The most noticeable difference is it's on boost ALOT more and hits peak a couple hundred rpm lower. The Forge valve is getting a workout. I don't think I've ever actually heard it before ! I'm leaving the screw all the way out and keeping my fingers crossed. It's perfect!
tom.
