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.

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.
These cars are way faster than people expect

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.
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

After that damn mustang is done, my car is next! It's been getting revamped and he is dedicating his full time to it.

you are almost there
they do take forever, or so it seems
my car is still running, i think it's healing lol
try the r-comps when you get it going
great fun
I still say try for a Pathfinder TB , I think the Q45 is 90mm. and the PF TB is 70mm ?
I talk to TPS and I should be fine running the Pro-efi /piggy backing off the OEM ECU.
Probally keep the UTEC around if not one purchase it for back up, Anyways good deal on the software !

The c2 is just the start but i really want the medium low end power for my daily driver. I want to really see what the maximum power we can extract with all the head work and proper tuning with these cams they arent too far off from the c8 specs. We will see how much hp will be gained adjusting the cam timing as well. Im pretty sure everyone will be pleasantly surprised with the results of a fully tuned NA build done the right way.

mine doesn't come alive till 4500rpm and pulls hard till about 7500 rpm
but down around 2200 its very flat
most of the other vq35de swaps i have driven had stock cams and feel stronger to me than mine in the 2200-2600rpm range
i think kevins car is designed to be a strong street car not a track star
imo the c2's should shine there
isn't a moderate increase in duration and a big increase in lift very old school for a good street cam set up?
For your heads, are you having them ported by hand or is it CNC'd? If it is CNC'd, do they have a program for the VQ35 heads or is it a scanned hand ported job that the CNC program is ran off of?
