probbly leaving a little there due to it running a different table but if it has that much knock the car car has way to much timing . if it was tuned before all the new corn gas thats definetly part of it . most cars ive seen are running 3-5 less* timing if not more thanks to the crap mix out there now. defiently get it re tuned soon though i woul dnever wanna rely on the knock sensors to pull enough timing to protect my motor

I'd be more concerned about the potential damage that could be occuring because of the knocking at wot then the power decrease due to the timing that the computer is pulling.

Get that car to a shop to have them check it out before you break something.
