wow 24 psi i can,t go past 6lbs on my gto.
you may want to get a cometic head gasket, are you using factory head bolts or head studs.
even a slight hint of knock is a big no no with boost, you need to get the car fixed and join us at shelor

Sounds like he might have had a cometic copper HG, if you used copper spray, thats not gonna be fun cleanin that shit off for this next go round, lol.
ruquick, why can't you go past 6 psi? Just from what people say, "rule of thumb" kinda thing?
I saw you dyno, you don't really need more haha, but hey why not..

garn number 7 cyl is the weak link in the ls2 and ls1 engines when you apply boost why i don't know?? i have heard on some people pushing the issue and end up costing them even when the tune is dead on.
the main thing with the gto is weight and wheel hop

i was able to run around 24psi with little to no knock, so im pretty sure it wasn't that. i agree that i need to take it to the dyon to have it pro tuned( not to mention i just want to know what it will do. i have a few bugs to work out 1st before that happens. soon tho. i have a feeling that it was the torque was wrong when i 1st put it on. i also never retorqued it after a heat cycle. no biggie, i have the motor out anyways and im changing a few things
so this is the perfect time to do it. if it ran that good on a shit hg i cant wait to see what it wil do with one that actualy seals. still waiting on the call from shep for them to tell me what exactly i did to the tranny. all i know is teeth came out when i draned the fluid haha.

sure have best e/t so far is 11.4 @125 mph 2.2 60ft on 18inch drag radials full weight 3,900lb terrible wheel hop off the line and a slipping clutch, it may not be the fastest car out there but it will hold its own.
