Water Injected cars will allow you to run closer to this point without then quickly leading to pre igntion, this is no one really talks about, but is one of the key things that WI allows (not higher ratios of meth than 50% cause that will lead to far inferior performance FYI)

but i realized that there is a very very minor knock during initial injection and it's persistent throughout my logs. should this be of a concern or is there anyway to totally eliminate this?

thanks.

What is the value of you knock correction during the initial injection anyway? -1.4?
