Where ever you have the spark lever set, if you start to hear the engine knock/ ping/ detonate, then quickly push the left lever up a few clicks to stop that knock. An engine can handle some detonation with no damage but it sure doesn't do it any good.

Got it and I do retard the spark as the engine loads up I just did not realize that it is the right way to drive the car. I just listen to the engine and move stuff around to make it smoother (not really but kinda) Now if I could just learn to down shift...
