Looks like you spun quite a bit off the line, by how the 60' numbers look. You will pick up more tq from the mids, so that's understandable.
You also have to keep in mind that no 2 days are going to be the same. So one day you'll run (example) 13.5 and the next day you could be doing 14s.

Get the knock module, can't hurt anything (unless you're actually getting real knock, and not false knock). A tune would help, but if you plan to do any real mods (heads and/or cam), I'd wait till then.
You sure you didn't burn a wire or have a fouled plug or two? Or even a broken plug?

How long has it been between the runs? How is your fuel filter? What was the DA at the track both days? Where was your temp gauge - too hot? Different psi in the tires?
I'm betting you are picking up some false knock after the header install, do you hear any exhaust leaks? You might want to go around the gasket edges with a stethoscope to make sure. Also what gasket did you use?

You should be trapping about 103mph or so, so something isn't right. I can't see the knock module picking you up 8mph. Tons of people dont have one with headers and run fine.

As noobtacular as it is for me to say, I still haven't figured out what "DA" is in reference to. I think it's something like the combination of position in regards to sea level, and barometric pressure. If so, is it possible to have the DA be the same between days 3 weeks apart?
