I did a 3rd gear pull on my log.

First time, mods are in my profile(not many) what do you guys think?

Also take a look at the third pic, why am I knocking out of no where?

But if im not mistaken, stock you run rich, correct? this leaves me room to boost more.
 
don't worry about the 1 count of knock you are getting. It's not enough for the ECU to retard the timing on you. Yes, you are a bit rich, try turning up the boost until you start to get some knock in excess of 5 counts, then back off the boost a tad. The log looks pretty good.
 
I'm guessing that I have a case of phantom knock then. Because in daily driving itll go as high as 45 then just drop off (3rd pic) Am i correct by assuming so. Also, what is phantom knock? :p
 
Do search on phantom knock. There are tons of threads on it i'm sure.

By your trims, unless they have not stabalized yet, you seem to be tuned pretty good.

Is it just popping up instantly as you are cruising, then going away?

Is it getting this knock at very low boost level as you are barely easing on the throttle-say maybe 1-2psi?

Go more in depth with when the knock count is occuring.
