Just to say, there is such a thing as 'inaudible det', which can be just as dangerous.

Trying to help is all, and good you are happy with it now.

Doubt you'll get him to read plugs for spark knock when he won't even use a timing light, he times it by ear

Yes I'd say with cranking compression of 200+ before with this same cam, and running pump gas, there was most likely spark knock before, he was likely unaware of it. He may like how it drives since a baby cam like this would require no tuning at all for smooth operation but it'll take a while for him to find out that any detonation will come back to bite him if he drives the car enough.

It’s obvious you are not genuinely trying to help. So then you are trolling. Get a life.

I guess you missed the other 50 pages of everyone trying to help, myself included. But you can only do so much on these computers. Quite frankly when it gets more involved I prefer the car here in front of me as it gets too in depth for most to understand, and this was a perfect example of that. I think you got the best help that could be expected from everyone here given the circumstances. You can lead a horse to water but......

You might not like it, but Formulajones said what needed to be said. Patting you on the head does not help you, it just makes things worse.
