Knock retard?

Ok, hold on for a sec, because I am going to sound like a total noob right now.
It's been about 1.5 weeks sense i started my evo up, currently put on a greddy tic single with invida catless downpipe and took it for a drive. Everything looks good except i got a knock retard of 1.1? I was not logging but it showed up on the AP, when i was scrolling through the monitors. Should i be worried? Running stage 2 lwg, also car was warmed up before driving.

thats about 3 counts of knock which isnt horibble. Is it consistent? was the road you were only bumpy at all? Sometimes that can set it off. You should do some logs to see exactly whats going on.

Knock

I have an AP as well and from what I'm told letting off throttle as well as giving the throttle a rev in idle and between shifts can cause phantom knock. I have a tune and hit the occasional 1.1 knock as well. I would worry more about large spikes in knock when accelerating through a gear, knock here is what can be dangerous.
