Default False Knock?

On my way home from work today I was playing with my Scanmaster...doing some part throttle & full throttle blasts. I noticed probably around 80% TPP from 35mph on up I would get 1 degree of knock. After doing a WOT run I picked up 3 degrees w/ my O2's averaging out @ 914. Isn't that a good reading? I did some more WOT (100% TPP) punches & didn't get any knock and my O2's were in the 890's. I have my MAFT set @ 2% lean @ WOT and my O2's are looking good..what's going on?!?! I’m thinking it’s false due to my exhaust setup.

Help me out guys..
Thanks

First of all, I disregard ANY readings that are not 100% throttle.

You need to perform the race unleaded test on your car to help determine if it is false knock. See details on my KnockOut Box webpage (link in signature)
