After scanning a WOT 1/4 run (even though i detected lots of knock) heres some specs.. your input would be greatly appreciated

it seems my first gear shifts at 5700rpm at 45mph and drops to 3600rpm in 2nd

2nd geat shifts at 5775 rpm at 80mph and drops to 3700 in third


My third gear rides to 4750 at 101 ...end of run..

i have 323 gears..shift points seem ok to you? damn tach is off it reads 6K but thats my limiter so i would be hitting it if it was really 6K when its shifting..
373s going in 3 weeks (what will the rpm look like with 373s?)

---KNOCK
with 3" cutout open right under passanger side door i get knock

1rst gear...4100rpm at 30mph it starts
2nd gear starts...4750 at 66mph
3rd gear starts ...4250 at 98-101 my damn trap speeds

---MAF...
6-9 during idle
4mph=50
20mph=100
32mph=175
37mph=200
39mph=205 highest

drop to 125 after each shift

stayed 165-205 open throttle? should flow more?

---spark advance...18-22 idle
34-40 gas
WOT 36-45..with 47 the highest

damn battery died b4 i could get a good run with no knock or with the cutout capped...thats even with a 120W power invertor connected to my computer and cig lighter...oh well KM is here tomarrow..we'll see if i can get no knock with the LT4 KM and open cutout...

 

--coolant temps---
on cold days my run about 175 to 183 highest

on hot humid days it runs184 to 190 highest....

never goes above 89 degrees celsius on hot humid day

never goes above 83 degrees celsius on cool air day

--tranny temp---
takes forever to get to 150 from cold startup...
cool day 150 degrees at cruise and 165 degrees stopped for a while or driving high rpm..

warm day 155 at cruise and can reach 175 at most....it never reaches 180 degrees ever.

i think my cooling is perfect..what do u think?

 

is my MAF (airflow) flowing to little for WOT...buddy with a 95Z says his flows 250 at WOT...im at 165-205 at WOT

 

You need to look at the WOT MAF value, at max RPM. The many data logs that I have reviewed indicate that you would see about 240gps at 5,800rpm. I indicate that in my online scanner writeup. On that basis, yours seems a little low. You need to remember, that mass flow will vary with "density altitude"..... if you are well above sea level (Chicago isn't), or you have a very low barometer or very high ambient temperature it will reduce the mass air flow, and hence the power.

If it was an MAF sensor problem - under measuring actual flow - you should be seeing elevated long term fuel correction values in most Cells.
