Question Chip and spark knock

Bill M is letting me use his PSP chip until mine comes in. The problem is spark knock. Happens on tip in and from 4k on up. What gas should I get . I had 1/2 tank of QT 93, so I went to ammico and topped off with more 93. Still the same. So I added booster to tank(says not to,and I don't belive they work). When engine in high gear on tip in when starts to rattle. I flip the switch and is gone. So I'm shure its from to much timing. But I can tell that the chip makes more power. Would spin tires going into second gear(didn't do before on dry road). Any input woould be nice, would like to go looking for cars to eat.

PS I belive that are winter gas is long gone. With wenter gas stock I was getting some spark knock(very lite,not like now)

Hi Will:

Glad you got through the cleaning process I mentioned.
So that the other guys don't get upset with me, I did mention the timing advance issue, remember?
Kind of awesome isn't it to be able to spin the tires in second without holding it against the brakes?
Sal's chip seems to have a really aggressive shift setup and it is a joy in my opinion.
As a side note, you don't have to go full throttle all the time. Smile.
Bill

Check out my post "how long before...." and also "rivercity raceway anyone". I also have pinging problem and think the timeing needs to come off a little.
