Zedder: something worth mentioning is that a lean condition can lead to pre-ignition and detonation...how good was the tune on that Z?

I don't think so Chevy454...I couldn't tune a car to save my life, so I took it to a local Corvette guy that has a fairly good rep. He couldn't get the thing running where he wanted it and fiddled with the carb and timing for about 2 hours before getting it "the best he could". I suspect the carb and distributor needed freshening and that it was running the off-road cam - not the stock cam.
