Now that I think I've got a handle on what detonation is, & what causes it, I'd like to ask another question if I may. Let's say for instance that your particular car has 400hp & you're using a 20 degree chip. If you were to get 10 degrees of knock retard during a wot run, is there a way to figure out how much hp you are losing because of it. I'm not asking for an exact amount here, just an estimate. I would assume you'd be losing half of the timing the engine is capable of. Would that mean that you're losing 200hp? If I'm way off here in my thinking, can someone learn me something? I'd appreciate any input that I can understand. Even if you think I'm an idiot.
Thanks
