3800 How much KR is "acceptable" on a NA engine?

[mfuller]

Just out of curiosity. Obviously, no KR is best (duh), but I do see little blips of KR now and then......all the critical stuff you'd normally look at seems to be in check, but I've attached a scan log to illustrate my point. Anyone care to fathom why? I've read Bill Hooper's ramble on how to fight KR, but most of it doesn't apply to me since I'm NA. I'd love to hear some responses.

lil blips arent gonna hurt you. THe pcm will correct for it and everything will be good. Now if you start seeing a consistent 4-5* or worse then you should start looking for a problem. So to answer your question without looking at your file, id say you are fine. If those blips are happening around shift points then that is also a normal occurance. Hope that helps.
