Post KR Problem- Help

I am having a Knock Retard problem and need some help. This is what I am getting:
Cell 8 9 12 22
Knock Retard 0.9 0.2 0.8 0.7
Knock Retard Events 21 2 24 89
Timing 27.2 27.3 18.9 25.6

My LTFT's are all negative.

After installing SLP Headers I bought LS1Edit and EFLive. I modified the MAFT table to get my LTFT's negative (-3.5 average). COT is off.
I had the timing advanced about +3 but changed it back to stock. Changing it back to stock did not help.

It looks like that most of the KR Events occur between 15-25 timing.
I am using LS1 Tuning Data Analysis Spreadsheet for the Data Analysis.

Should I change the timing below the stock timing? I am not sure what else to change. What else can I do?

Thanks,
BowlingSS

"Knock Retard 0.9 0.2 0.8 0.7"

You have KR of LESS than ONE DEGREE? IGNORE IT!

Even 3 to 5 drg of KR for a fraction of a second is a non-issue in terms of drivability, performance and economy.

So how much KR is bad? I thought all KR was bad but I am an newbie at this tuning thing.
