Ok do NOT put it in boost at all . Let me ask a question . Did he not hear it on the dyno ? And did he also read your spark plugs or just go directly based off the afr being in check ? I smell methonal in your future .

@84Ttop what you think ? I know you guys aren't meth fans but maybe it's warranted in this situation ? Too much total timing under boost ?

Cars hot inlet temps are higher - hot air going into. Even hotter combustion temps . My. Car cooled between pulls too but my tuner read the plugs - took it on the road and got on it as well to make sure all was well

Sorry to hear your having issues. If its detonating you need to take it back to the tuner. He didn't do his job. If he can't handle it get your money back and find another tuner . How could he tune it and not hear it detonating and again not see it on the a/f gragh? And Toolow91 nailed it. A race fuel and/or a meth kit will solve the high compression issue. I recommend the meth kit. Whatever you do it'll cost you another tune.

ya i know,left him a message,he gona call me back....but he did drive it and check the plugs for a pattern,said it was good?.....and the air fuel seems good until around 5600,told me to set the limeter at 5500 and ill be good.....he spent all day on it,but as soon as i drove away with the car running at 180-195 it was for sure detonating,from 0-4 psi,all i took it too....frustrating for sure!

Like I said in this case better safe then sorry I think meth is the answer . Race fuel is too expensive for a street car and buying boost juice or m1 will solve the issue at a much more cost effective rate .
