Knock Retard
I have my pulley'* on (2.2 SC and oversized idler) and am getting about 6* knock retard on my scantool. My mods are listed below but drilled 180* t-stat, magnaflow high flow CAT, custom intake with box and "ram air effect" like willwrens except not nearly as nice, and autolite 104'* gapped at .53 i believe. Any suggestions on what I should do next to get rid of the knock retard? Thanks

Every car responds differently. A 2.3" pulley would probably be fine on yours without any further work. You're not the first 92/93 to get KR with a 2.2". And it'll be worse in warmer weather.

The easy thing other then putting on a 2.3" pulley is to try to drop down to a 160* t-stat (not the best for winter) and going to some Autolight 103'* (not the best for winter).
If you do PEM'*, I'd also get a 3" DP and you should have no problem running that 2.2".
While it will prob. be worse in the summer, I don't think that it will be that much worse. You are running winter gas and it you are getting more boost b/c of the weather.

Start with PEM'* or increase the size of your pulley.
