Would water/alcohol injection resolve this? I've been reading up on the devil's own kit and am seriously considering it being that I already run 15 degrees timing and I'd like to run more but I get pinging from 91 octane, but If I went with DO's W/A I. the effective octane would be 110+.... it wouldnt totally resolve it, but it sure would help a lot. for you, since your NA, using WI is going to be tricky, because its a system that is normally triggered by boost. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
