I know this is always a topic for discussion so I appreciate any help.
My issue with what I believe is detonation is: I have a '93 GT modified with all the bolt-ons including NOS. I only hear the infamous rattling sound if I lug the engine (say 5th gear at 40 mph). My mechanic friend says this is normal because the engine is under load but others tell me different.
I have pretty much determined the problem to come on when engine temp reaches 180 or higher. I have replaced the ECT & ACT to no avail. I don't believe fuel is the problem either. Last dyno tune was 50lbs pressue (vacuum on) and timing @ 12 degrees.
I also cannot pinpoint when the problem started. May have been this way and I just never noticed.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
