How are you detecting detonation? I can never hear it on mine but it seems to show signs...
Also, what gas are you running?
Thanks!

Sorry if im reviving an old thread but i have a question about this. Here in italy we have 95 octane as standsrd fuel and 100-105 as premium... Do you think it would still ping for me with the high compression gasket?I can hear it plus acceleration stops when it pings. I run 92 octane (the highest available) but the detonation is caused by 2 things: I replaced the stock head gasket with a high- compression gasket when the OEM gasket failed & The PCV maps from Dynojet & most tuners advance ignition timing by 2 degrees where detonation is occurring. It only happens in 5th/6th gear under light loads (freeway cruising up a hill) so I tried 1 degree advance in the cells for 5K- 7K RPMs with 40% to 60% throttle openings but it would still ping occasionally so I changed the cells to 0 degrees and detonation stopped. I just don't want to give up any horsepower in gears 1- 4 so I'm going to set up the map by gear option.
They are talking about North American octane numbers which are different from Europe or elsewhere.Sorry if im reviving an old thread but i have a question about this.

Ok, so ron 95 is 91 in the us right? So yeah I would probably have to get higher octane fuel since my map runs 6 degrees in some places :/ such a bummer i thought i wouldnt have to do thisThey are talking about North American octane numbers which are different from Europe or elsewhere.
