Richen up your fuel where your are knocking.

If that doesn't help, you can turn your CAS back a couple degrees to lower your timing.

A Logger and a WideBand will make tuning a lot easier.
 
i have a glowshift wide band a nd a logger but i dont have the software and the cusb cord! like ive tried riching it up and it doesnt help out any. like im getting knock at 10.9 on the wideband. thats not good! like i punch it in 1st and 2nd gear it fine but when i put it into 3rd since its a longer gear i get like +7 knock on my knock sum gauge. will a smalll boost leak cause detanation?wb thanks
 
Try to richen up around 10.6 at WOT. I only tune in 3rd or higher because its longer and more load on the engine to cause knock.

How much boost and where is timing peaking at?
