The car wasn't pinging when it was tuned.. as it was cold outside when we built it. And, the owner couldn't hear it pinging when he ran it this summer. I don't really care to rely on alky/meth injection.. to me, it's just another thing to worry about failing.
But, from the start, we didn't feel that it was necessary.. as the car showed no signs of detonation.

wouldn't retarding the timing help with preventing the detonation? I mean you do have a management system with your setup that should allow you to adjust timing right? I realize you said you had it tuned but I would have it retuned. Also lowering the compression will reduce the knocking, however your timing is most critical. I would make sure that your cams were put in correctly and that your TDC was selected properly.
With 300whp he'll be running low 12's n/a maybe better. With a 75 shot he'd easily be in the 11's. I dyno'd my car and it netted around 235whp and I ran a 12.9 on drag radials...
These cars are way faster than people expect
I’m Barry and 72 yrs old
and was still able to push this car to 12.45-12.65@aprox 108
on 8x24.5in m/t slicks
on some very hot days
This is not a track car but my dd with full upholstery no weight removal beside the spare and jack
wait and see he will be deep in the 12's na.

I agree timing is the most critical
The car is running the stock sentra radiator as well and seems to run on the hot side in the hot summers w/ a/c on
cams were checked twice
kevin how is the tune coming

I keep setting etas on completition but I'd say 1 week, 2 weeks tops and I'll have a video and dyno of it done. I'll post updates as soon as completed. It is all wired up for the tuning tuner just has to get to it.

I know the feeling. All the planning and thought out lists then for some reason there is always a delay...
