so your saying that its detonation is that bad on the motor???? im riniing 93 octane right now? more cooling you mean intercooler right? and fuel i bought the 1.8 injectors what else is there????

Most definatley detonation is bad ask my stock pistons why #2 looked like it had been put in a pulverizer, or ask braineack about the giant smoke screens he has seen cause pistons where fubard. 1.8's will help but ultimatley a IC or WI is needed to cool the air intake temps unless you plan on buying or building a new motor soon. Also check the fuel filter, make sure everyhting is working. And athrowing a gauge on the fuel system to make sure the pump is still pumping is a good idea as well. If the pressure is low then, the filter is dirty or the pump is going out. If the filter has been changed then, the problem is most likely the pump. Pick up a walboro 190 highpresure frpm lightning motorsports and then retest and you will see a big difference in pressure. GL man
