What kind of tune did you get after the install? Dyno tune, mail order tune, or someone local upload a tune for you?

He said he got a mail order tune from TSP. I would get a wide band on it and see how its running at WOT. Check the tune again. It also could be your Y pipe banging causing a false knock sensor warning.

It reads your air fuel ratio. It's also very common for H/C cars engine and exhaust to bang around in the engine bay with stock motor mounts causing a knock retard that will pull timing.
