    map sensor

    I have a magnacharger on an '03 Silverado SS but I'm still running the stock 1 bar map...I am seeing knock from a standing launch, could the fact that I'm still running a 1 bar be causing this knock? Should I invest in the 2 bar? I have a part number from Checker/O'Reiley Auto for the BWD P/N EC1794. This number cross referenced to the 12580698 number but I have read that the EC P/N is a 2.5 bar. Will this affect anything if it is? Any advice would be great. Thanks

    the map sensor is not causing the problem.it's timing and /or fueling.if you do change the sensor,you'll have to buy the 2bar os to use it.

    Not timing or fueling...or at least it shouldn't be...stock radix tune installed...only tweaks were to the shift points...alot of know retartd problem when I installed my Yank 3000 stall though. In fact... I lost .7 of a second in the quarter after installing it.

    Loosing nearly a second after installing a tq converter points to either a combination mismatch or mechanical issue of some sort to me at least.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    Why do you say that? Unless I still have a brain cloud, I would expect if he has a 1 bar tune and 2 or 2.5 bar sensor, he will be operating in a different part of the spark maps than he would with a 1 bar sensor. The part of the timing map with higher timing than he should have. He'll be at half or less output voltage on the MAP for any given vacuum or pressure level. You're right about it being timing or fueling.

    OP, you can confirm this with a simple log of all of the basics including your MAP sensor, TPS and actual timing.

    right now,he has a 1 bar tune with a 1 bar sensor. we need to see a log and the tune to really see what's happening.if he changed to a 2 bar sensor without changing the os ,he would then have the problem you are refering to.

    LS1 spark tables are not map based fyi.
