If you flatten the KCA table and adjust the Base Timing table by equal amounts, you can better see where to actually remove timing and you'll end up with a smoother map with timing not removed from unneeded areas.
What you do is look at the flattened map, then remove timing from that one and your normal map in parallel.
I'll attach roms with KCA already flat.
The ones labelled 100 are the US 91 AKI maps.
98 is for our 98RON fuel, worse than US 91.
There's one with the flat KCA of 6 deg with timing pulled, and another with normal KCA with the exact same timing pulled.
I haven't had a chance to test it, I just went back over my old petrol logs and redid my maps.
I first did what you did - blanket pulled timing from the general area, instead of addressing the lumps in the timing that caused knock.
This will definitely require more timing pulled, but using my process the end result is much better power delivery.
