Need some help tuning my car, just got her back from being built
Those targets are basically when I'm spooling up from 3k or so. At higher rpm I aim for the same or slightly richer. However in the map that requires slightly more pronounced changes from cell to cell since it takes less time to spool at 3k than it does at 5k.
I'm running the knock sensitivity settings Aaron recommended. Leaned my car up a little and that help. I've been pulling a good amount of timing and it's helping in some portions but not others. I don't know how to make my timing map any smoother. Also, seems like my car is adding timing in areas outside of the EGR advance. Here's a log and current ROM. A lot better but this false knock is really bugging me.

Could my car be running not enough timing? I know that sounds dumb. But I feel like I'm pulling a lot of timing.
I was under the impression a cop setup with cdi allowed for more timing to be ran not less. I understand that cams increase the amount of air which would cause less timing to be able to be ran

If you still have your AFRs in the 10s like the older posts, I would be interested in seeing that data as minimums and maximums, and make everything at least a point leaner. If its normally consistent going 1 point leaner and see how it impacts your knock data.
Though considering the other cells, the 20 looks not real.
here's both my afr

and boost

Those are all averages. I didn't realize that you could change what was displayed until just now. After looking at the averages they're a fair estimates of the max's and min's since it was only one pull.

I also think it might help to unselect the things you don't really need for these logs. Battery voltage, fuel trims, and some other stuff won't likely tell you anything and is just hogging up bandwidth of your logging tools.
Curious if we can't get some comments from the more knowledgable about that data around the 20 count and if that could be a consequence of events logged around there or not.
OK, good, I see it in the log now. More a question for the guru's, but I see the WGDC goto 100 there, and it also pulls timing quickly based on that 20 count, 31 to 14. The other tell there is its your 'tip in', or what guys refer to as that, because you are just getting on your TPS there. The biggest thing I see is kind of lean at a jump to 15.5 just before there.

Also, I tried pulling 5 degrees timing on my whole ignition map minus the idle regions and my car still knocked in the same areas.
Thanks guys.
So, most of my knock problems were being caused by my sensor being finger lose. However that didn't completely solve them and I'm still getting some partial throttle knock. However I have no knock at WOT.
I edited my Min Load for Boost Control table and seemed to help with the partial throttle knock. Here's a pic of my stock and changed settings. My new settings are closer to what Merlin says as stock.

fireroasted. I see you have an EBC so maybe this is table can help you out.
