    No changes I have made helped. I changed all of my spark plugs with new tr55's. my old plugs looked GREAT. I also bought a set of new coils to try out.

    One thing someone mentioned is a crank relearn. I have never done one, my truck has had at least 5 pcms in it, and 1 engine swap. But I've never thrown a code or anything related to a crank relearn. Could that be somehow causing this? I'm baffled.

    Then in that situation I'd without a doubt be doing one asap.

    Lower your PE mode from 90% throttle and disable cat protection

    did you add more fuel as i suggested? you were not very far off from the first tweak i suggested to you. trust me kr will go away once you reach that magic .915mv or so. your tuner took out way too much timing. if you noticed the kr almost went away when you added 2.5 to the ve and 15 to the maf but it was too much and too little timing giving you a very inefficient burn, hence you had some minor kr. in n/a configuration, it will be very hard to hurt the motor as long as you maintain a conservative timing curve of not more than 22 on your wot runs. if you are worried about kr ruining the motor than why don't you just do 6 and 6 for the ve and maf tables respectively and work your way down.

    Bump for OP.

    What is the stock compression ratio.

    Now with milled/ported heads your compression ratio is 10.6...?

    Do you have pics of the ported heads...?


    From log posted below, KR shows sawtooth pattern:

    the LQ4 is 9.4:1, the LQ9 is 10.1:1. Both of those engines use the same VE table and MAF table from the factory. I dont have any pictures of the heads. They are just standard CNC'd heads. I will purchase the LC-1 now to monitor AFR and then if it knocks still with good AFR I will add race gas and see what happens. I did the calculation and with the stock cam's lift of .470" I am getting 30 cfm more flow with the ported than stock heads. I also added a catch can.
