I have been playing around with the blue tooth obd II and the torque app with the knock detector add in. Today it said i had 1 degree of timing. I have stock pulley, stock tune, stock manifolds, factory plugs, thrasher intake, u bent delete, high flow cat, slp exhaust non resonated. Coolant temp was 185 to 190 unsure of thermostat but think it has been lowered from factory. thinking 185.
Should i be getting any knock with a stock pulley?

and how much kr did it say at the time of one degree timing?
07-22-2016
Sorry i didnt explain well. the gauge reads KR so it had 1 KR. I assumed that was 1 degree of timing?
07-22-2016
no thats one degree of kr. lol
kr cuts your timing back to keep the engine from blowing up.
U bend delete is the only reason you have only one degree of kr too. with out it im sure you had up to 4 or 5 easy, but stock is fine like that.

So just a intake and exhaust will get you 4 to 5 KR? Does stock have KR?
07-22-2016
Stock has 5-8° kr
the lower the number down to 0 is best. When modded 0 is needed

the intake dont do a damn thing. neither does a cat back.

Scott, i am confused. is my bluetooth gauge not reading correctly?
07-22-2016
for my set up u think i should be seeing 8 KR?
07-22-2016
its fine, 1 degree is nothing. stock cars can have any where from 2 to 8 or more tho. every cars different.
07-22-2016
so after the headers and tune do u think a 3.5 is safe?
07-22-2016
dont see why not. thats were most of us start out, or a 3.4 pulley.

I had AL104's, headers, open cone, 180 tstat and 3.4 with 0kr all day every day 3.5 is for girls

Am I reading that you are using the knock detector plugin for torque? If so that is not what you want use to check for KR.
- Open Torque
- Go to Settings
- Go to manage extra PIDs/Sensors
- Click the 3 dots next to manage custom OBD2 PIDs
- Add predefined set
- Click Pontiac/GM/Opel/Vauxhall
- Go back to the main page
- Go to realtime Information
- Click in a blank space
- Add display
- Add a gauge - I like the Half Dial meter as it shows you the highest and lowest values
- Scroll down to knock retard
- Done
