I agree that you should add fuel to avoid lean detonation where your piston becomes part of the fuel mixture! I also keep my Diablo in the car just in case I get a bad tank or whatever. The timing graph is hard to make any sense from because in addition to load, MAF, throttle position, RPM you also have things such as EGR. As I understand it, when EGR kicks in at cruise, even more timing could be added. Then, YOu drop 'er down in 3rd or 4th and mash on it, EGR would go off and timing would be decreased I think. This is just my theory of why the timing graph looks so very whacked when doing datalogging. Too many variables.

I always thought that it sounded like a knock or ping - not a whine. Maybe that's your rear end gears?
