I don't know the other tunes. But, yes, JR tune detects and adjusts for knock. Those adjustment can be seen in the data logs. But, I think, the knock tolerances are more sensitive and can be done in a smaller range when the engine is boosted.

Stewart's sells non-ethanol in upstate NY. I can definitely see that their 91 octane non-ethanol is better than all other 93 ethanol gas I tried.
