When I run the car in the 8th I don't see knock, but if I'm out on the highway and drop to 4th and kick it, it lights the CEL. Same if I run up through the gears on the street, 1st 2nd 3rd are usually good, but once I get it into 4th gear it'll light it up, usually as soon as the boost comes back on after the shift. Sometimes it goes back out right away and sometimes it stays on. Fuel is good (low 11's). Is it just the extra pressure from having the car in a high gear at 3500ish and full boost(18-20 psi) Running on 93 octane btw. I have the WOT timing pretty low, to the point that I feel it is hurting my power, because it will break loose easier part-throttling it than at WOT.
Engine is a 2.5 bone stock w/ .040-over Wisecos, ported exhaust manifold, stock Garrett, 2.5" sv and 3" exhaust w/ a hi-flow cat and a resonator, and an AWIC setup w/ no reservoir. Not sure if the intake temps are rising because I don't have a reservoir and the IC core is heat soaking or what. Figured I'd see if anyone else is having this issue.
