more sputtering

[stlhrse]

OK, so I flashed the new 87 performance tune, and the tranny strategy felt MUCH better. I then started incrementally increasing timing one degree at a time. I don't know if it was necessary, but everytime I increased timing I flashed back to stock then changed it and reflashed. Anyway, I'm up to 5 degrees of additional timing, and it's running great. I'm not really worried about detonation or anything since it's not on juice or a blower. Although I haven't noticed any performance decreases, I am concerned about the knock sensor pulling timing without me realizing it, if I get some bad gas or something.
Cody, is it possible in your software to disable the functionality of the knock sensor, so it can't pull timing on its own? I use SCT software to tune my racecar, and though its an 02 so it never had a knock sensor, I know that there are quite a few things in there you can just disable. I just don't know if the software you guys use does that, or if it does, if the knock sensor is a switchable value, but it would be nice if it was.
Granted I have only been running it for a few days, but I haven't noticed any sputtering or bucking or anything. It feels really good so far. So, I'll continue running it and we'll see what happens. Maybe by Friday, if there are no problems we can wrap this up.

Thanks
