What does detonation sound like on a KA? On most cars, it ranges from "pennies in a can," to a "ping or knock," to a deep low sound.

Sometimes when I am in too high a gear and then I go up a hill, I get a nice deep bass "bump bump bump..."

EDIT - It's a stock 91 and I always run 93 (cause I like wasting money <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sigh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

155,000 miles. I may be losing some slight power, but I think it's cause I am used to driving a V8 Tahoe last weekend.
