The spike at 6k is caused by that, at 6k the PCM stops paying attention to the sensor and the timing gets thrown back in: Since Zetecs(least vct ones) rarely knock under boltons or just mild head/cam work you can unplug the knock sensor to get some more timing. On his ZX2 he loged that the sensor was pulling -6 degrees. ZX2 S/R: 116whp/116wtq stock AF/X udp, FR wires
