We're not ragging on you, we just don't want to see you blow your motor as has happened to other members here. There was one member back in the beginning of the year who admitedly did not know what detonation sounded like yet insisted he didn't here any. People kept suggesting that he keep his btc conservative and get on a dyno asap. He did neither and blew a piston. Please be careful.
I'm not worried about the ragging, I know its in good faith.

I have a dyno scheduled within the next two weeks. In the meantime, I have the BTC set to between 8-12 clicks, depending on my mood. Do you suggest I set it higher? I also live in downtown Chicago, so I never drive during the week, which lowers my chances of destroying anything soon.
