I'll answer #2 ... it's beat your rod bearings to the copper, cause cap walk and possibly crack the block .

How about stating what your combo/timing is if you want an answer .

W your curve in the ballpark you need enough octane to keep it at bay. (as you know) todays gas is very poor which forces u to compromise the curve which only helps a certain extent & causes other probs. Any ping you can hear is very damaging. If a person builds a monster it needs 2 b fed properly (a % of race gas)

You step on the gas and instead of power you hear what sounds like a coffee can of marbles being shaken.
