Phantom knock

Anyone get phantom knock? We cant figure out why im knocking the only thing i can think of is my throwout bearing? Ive heard of people replacing there clutch and throwout bearing and there knock goes away?? Anyone hear of this before? My throwout bearing rattles bad! It never use to seems like since i put my cams in that when i started to hear the throwout bearing rattle. Ive checked almost everything and have had tuners look at my car and we still cant figure it out. Car is only at 334 whp because of knock and should be around 350 to 360. Im on E85 and only running 23lbs of boost! Any higher Boost produces the car to knock alot more! Anyone have a clue what i should check? And can my throwout bearing be it??? Thanks!!!

Yes im tuned for it but i knock and it takes out timing therefore car is not as fast as it should be. I should be able to boost around 28 lbs but i cant cause if i go over 23 lbs it goes into crazy knock.
