What's yours at? I know every car will be different and nothing's guaranteed to be safe, but I'm a bit curious how others are setting this up. Here's mine from awhile back for comparison.
0 RPM: 0.42
800 RPM: 0.42
1600 RPM: 0.42
2400 RPM: 0.46
3200 RPM: 0.50

4800 RPM: 0.64
5600 RPM: 0.70

I did the free revving and also a dyno pull without any boost (coupler blew off at the start of the pull). The free revving is a similar curve, just lower voltage readings. The pull without boost just moved everything up a bit while following the natural curve. I have 2 noisy spots that always show up regardless of what I do. One at 5400 and another at 6600, neither is detonation that could be verified with det cans.
The numbers I posted above were from tuning with electronic det cans and watching what the knock sensor showed. Here's what I'm currently running until I can get the new setup back on the dyno. This should be more inline with what most people are running.
0 RPM: 0.42
800 RPM: 0.42
1600 RPM: 0.46
2400 RPM: 0.50
3200 RPM: 0.52
4000 RPM: 0.56
4800 RPM: 0.56
5600 RPM: 0.58
6400 RPM: 0.60
7200 RPM: 0.62
8000 RPM: 0.66
8800 RPM: 0.66
My original numbers seemed a bit high to me and that's why I posted them. With all the blown motors lately I have been looking real hard at my own setup to find potential errors in what I'm doing.
