That's fine. But the ultimate goal shouldn't be to run 100%. Especially on pump gas. The idea behind the user tunable torque curve is to reduce torque from the standard default settings if desired. And to raise torque (increase numbers) IF you are running on race gas (for drag racing, for instance). I have run 100% on pump gas on my personal car just to make sure it's stable. But not all cars are created equally and conditions can get pretty nasty at times. So don't play the numbers game with your car! Just enjoy it and drive.

Your right. i have had no knock with your settings but today when it was really hot and i was going up hill at one point knock came into play for a second then went away. Im going to raise it by 3% and keep it there and play around with 100 when i go to the track next weekend.
