Help looking at Logs - Stage 2 N55 BM3

Hey guys, new to looking at logs, please can i have some help?

I'm running a 99ron map in the UK with bm3 stage 2. on 2 of the logs there is a 'knock detected' is this something i should be worried about and is there any indication to whats causing it?

yeah theres a knock detected in the first, knock in the 3rd.

so 1 knock detected at low rpms in logs is nothing to bother about?

What intercooler and downpipe are you running?

Also, are you in stock plugs or did you move to the recommended NGKs gapped down to .22/.23?

logs look excellent.

knock detection is followed by timing corrections as part of DME strategy to get maximum timing advance. in the context of your log, knock was followed by small timing correction in only 1 cylinder, so that's normal behavior. if you had several knock events, followed by alot of timing corrections in multiple cylinders, i'd run a tune developed for lower octane fuel.
