I think it may be my stock spark plugs not giving the proper spark....
i'll order me some DENSO IRIDIUM spark plugs, anybody have these?

EDIT: omg TypeX... your avatar... I just saw that movie not long ago in HBO!

You should get plugs rated a step or two colder than stock for boosted applications. They will dissipate the heat better and have less chance at causing detonation in your motor.

Did your S/C kit not come with plugs? Mine did...

Is the 'knocking' sound just your injectors?

My injectors sound like they are angry, and had me a bit worried myself. Kinda sounds like ticking or knocking.

Post a clip so we can tell if it's ticking or knocking.

Thats the first thing I thought of was the injectors... does the kit come with different injectors? The stock ones are loud enough I cant imagine what aftermarket sounds like.

Glad that's all it was!

You have upgraded injectors? I have stock injectors with upgraded spark plugs. You said you have stock spark plugs and upgraded injectors? I confused because that's a bit backwards from my kit...

Go have fun and be safe with it!
