Are you sure it's rod knock and not detonation?

Here's another vote for Rob's he did some work on one of my other car's head and the work came out great.

thanks in advance

By the way what happened...was this off of their tune that they sent you? Or was it tuned elsewhere?

I thought KB made their set-ups very safe for our 91 octane crap.... [Confused]

i use KB tune. Somehow, i got a hesitation when i shift from 2nd to third at 5700rpm. After it did that i heard lots of noise coming from the engine. Greg at GNJ motorsport said the rods are knocking [Frown]
