personally an easy swap to see if its gas related, james try swapping to a different brand of gas....sometimes bad quality gas can cause knock due to bad additives in gas...what plugs you running and what gap?

your plug gap is at .020 man thats a really tight gap, try opening up your gap to .022 or .024 to close a gap can affect your performance...

no i dont currently own a dyno but its a proven fact, read this article: http://www.ehow.com/about_6072203_ga...-critical.html
Go to the section titled "Proper Spark Plug Gap" maybe it would teach you to second guess me. haha
but thats what i was taught in automotive trade school, too close of a gap will cause it too run rich since the af compressed mix wont ignite properly, too wide and it might not fire.
