Why are you going to richen things up, it already looks rich if your trims are dialed in & you've adjusted the props for a descent air/fuel ratio estimate. How much boost are you running? Are you logging boost or a wideband, if so which ones? What do you lo & mid fuel trims look like?

Your not seeing any knock, so that a good start. Depending on what your answers are to the above questions, I'd look at removing abit more fuel & starting to bump up timing, if your running the amount of boost you like.
 
i didnt even realize i put rich. i meant lean* up the map. Boost is right where I want it. I am using a innovate lc-1 wideband for my afr. I am running 20psi. I know how to adjust the timing but i dont know when. When should i start to add timing? Do i just leave the maf clamp thing alone?
 
I can't check the log currently but what does your boostest look like in the 5000-6000rpm range, does it match your actual boost, fairly closly? If so, then your MAF is doing what its supposed & doesn't require adjustments. MAF clamp you won't need running 20psi on a 16g, you don't need to clamp the MAF till you start seeing 2700-2800+ Hz, as this is when the MAF starts going screwy (I've hit 2900Hz without issues so far).

If your loging the LC-1, I'll check the log out later when I can. Personally I'd adjust your fuel sliders for 11:1 air/fuel across the rpm range. Then what you want to do is to have your timing ramp up nice & smoothly. The stock map isn't nice & smooth the whole rpm range, so you can't just add equal timing to each slider all the way up. Big jumps in timing are a good spot for knock to happen. Basically you want to start at the upper rpms & start adding timing & if your still knock free, you can then add timing the next step down in the rpms. I'd start adding timing at 6500+ & go from there.
