Wow, you're a mile high and using a 48 pilot? You got non-oem cams in there?

You can still experience some knocking (detonation, pinging, whatever you want
to call it)
if you load the engine at too low of an rpm, especially when the engine is
really running hot.

You might have to take the step to the 6200 module and coil. (the cross flagged
one)
AFAIK, the street legal one is the same as stock with a higher rev limit.
