You are getting some mid-range knock (1-2 counts). Each 0.35 degree on Cobb is equal to 1 knock sum. The mid-range 1-2 counts are probably not a big deal, but if it's repetitive, I would consider reducing your timing in those rpm/load cells.

However, in one pull, you are also getting 5 knock sum at 6700 rpm's. If that's repetitive, that's not good - I would adjust your tune to reduce the amount of timing you are running up top. You are running 20-22 degrees up top, which is relatively high.

did not look at the logs but adding some fuel might be a good idea too

I agree, you might want to pull back the timing up top. I've heard up to 2 degrees of knock retard in acceptable but I wouldn't trust it. You don't happen to have a log of your AFR do you?

Just for my own benefit, what do your WGDC tables look like? and did you remove boost pill in one of the WG solenoid lines?

You don't need to adjust your timing. Your logs are fine. 1-2 counts of knock is nothing. If they are consistent between logs, then consider reducing timing in those areas.

If you are having trouble understanding what you need to do in order to tune that out, I would suggest taking your car to a reputable tuning shop before you do anything drastic.

Is this a custom tune on your AP or a staged map? Your timing is a little inconsistent despite the lack of knock...

Just enjoy the car. The only thing I suggest is getting a wideband to monitor your afr's.

I'm no pro tuner but if you want to adjust your timing you open your map in Access Tuner Race, go to your Low Detonation Ignition table and adjust the numbers near the timing load and rpm values where you are getting knock. As I said before, your knock is in what is considered an acceptable range so it's really just a matter of preference

I suggest taking your car to a pro tuner at some point. You can drive with the 1-2 counts of mid-range knock. However, the main worrisome thing is the 5 counts of knock up top, if it's repetitive. Do some more logs and see if you can repeated knock retard in certain rpm ranges.
