I have about 85,000 miles on my mass flow from autothority. There was some detonation during Houston's hot summers at first so I sent the chip back and they reprogrammed it. Seemed to cure the knock except when given near to full throttle after the engine heated up in traffic. If I let the engine cool down a little it seems ok.

The plunging tach problem sounds like a problem I had a couple of years ago. After months of replacing all sorts of things we traced it to a bad potentiameter in the wiring harness from the sensor. I replaced it for $90 and the problem went away.
