your o2's are way to rich... you can knock from running to rich
do you have a powertuner you might need a custom tune or a mini-afc.
and what kind of plugs are you running? are they gapped between 0.50 and 0.53?
edit: can you get a scan of your car? how much kr are you getting? are you getting kr when you tip into the throttle or is it consistent? do you get kr when you're not at WOT?

Ryan, the first thing I would do is take stock of what is new, and what is not in the engine. There have been many different hands in that motor, and many different engine swaps. You probably have parts from here there and everywhere on there with different ages to each piece. This make diagnosing things very difficult.
Make yourself up a list (handwrite down on a sheet to first determine the mechanical soundness of the motor) You'll need to know how old the balancer is (or how many times it's been pulled), the age of the sensors, false knock investigation and so forth. The fuel knock issue shouldn't come into play at your 02's. Granted they are on the rich side, but it's a narrowband sensor, so any readings should be taken with a grain of salt. The target PE that I put in there was 11.4, which is pretty standard fare for a non-ic'd car.

Ron: i know for a fact the whole longblock has ~80k on it.... the supercharger was factory installed and is brand new.... other than that, i have a 2000 alternator and the rest is outside the engine (like headers and stuff)... I havent touched the internals or anything
Gabe: well even tho it is a narrowband.... it still reads Rich.. and i know its GENERAL... but it still means im rich right?.... and upping it on the MAF would make it more rich........right?

Whats your addy? I'll bring the gas can, and the match.
Seriously though, I dont know how you still put up with that car.
Edited: Can you try a different PCM in your car? (I have a spare 97 Regal GS pcm, or the 1.0 DHP in my car FWIW) I dont know why I keep thinking its got to be the pcm, but thats one thing you've never changed, besides the tunes.

what REally is bothering me and is staying in the back of my heads is my Fuel Rails..
i dont know why but i keep thinking there is a problem with them because i havnt checked them yet...... only 111k miles on them too....
And i put up with the car because i know there is a cure out there... and when i find it... my smile will be bigger than ditching the car and buying a new one.
