But regardless of stock or UEL, neither match EL above 7k.

I seriously wouldn't even worry about it. People thrash these cars on track all the time.

Let the ECU do its job and pull the timing, that's what it's programmed to do.

That was the initial plan, but I got the Gruppe-S in the end. We talked about this quite a bit already. But no worries, sometimes both my Short Term Memory and LTM cause timing to be pulled too. Most embarrassing was a girl I dated a few times, and after a few glasses of wine, I had forgotten her name. I was showing her something on my computer and, to say at least, it bacame awkward when she asked me to add her on Facebook.

I get worse FLKC than all those logs, and I wasn't even on track. The question is if the amount of FLKC equals the severity of the of the initial knock that triggered it. Or if duration etc. plays a part in how much the ECU applies.

I would prefer not to have a severe knock event initially every time I go to 4th/5th gear and until the ECU pulls the timing. I suppose the ECU clears the corrections if getting a clean run in lower gears and would then have to reapply the correction next time going into 4th/5th.

Hence, the question "how much is too much"? But I guess it's an open question that only Subaru (or a blown engine) would reveal. And probably each has to answer for themselves.

Also if I can make changes that make it pull less I have more power obviously. So maybe it's worth sacrificing a bit performance in lower gears to get more power in the higher ones.
