This doesn't mean you shouldn't check all your hardware anyways. Also this doesn't mean that it's not a bad tank of petrol that is causing it either.

Personally in my logs I'd like to include some part throttle operation under different loads all the way up the rev range along with, obviously, some WOT pulls. I would take several in 3rd gear pulls, and usually end with a 3rd to 4th to 5th gear pull then normal commuting operation just so I have a clear picture of whats going on. Oh and also of some various sudden increase in throttle of different duration (to gauge how much tip-in knock correction im getting, if I'm getting any). Stuff like that. Just to be thorough.
Oh yes..I've read through all their tuning threads over the past month and heavily researching like I'm in school all over again ever since I got tuning itch! Seems like the more you know, the more confusing it gets at times.

My testing methodology after flashing a new tune is go on a few non-intensive cruises or drives to work so the ecu can learn first and datalog a few to make sure there's no knocking or irregularities under normal driving conditions. IAM, FLKC and knock correction always stayed at 1,0,0 respectively on all tunes I tried. Then when I have time on weekends, then I log some 1st to 3rd gears pulls at a empty office/industrial area. Then to wrap it up, log some spirited driving/thrashing.

TLDR: Based on all the data and tunes I tested, the knocking occurs in the high rpm range with IAM slowly dropping to a worse case of 0.8ish. FLKC dropping as low 2.8ish degrees but 'knock corection' (same as FBKC?) remains at 0 for 99% of the time. Right now I'm tweaking the best tune (OFH with Waynos maps) to see if I can reduce the knock?
