Default banging exhaust pulling timing.

My tuner tuned my timing at 21 which normally is 20.5 on hp tuners. After installing cats I lost 2-3mph in the quarter. The timing goes from 20.5 to 19 on hp tuners in first gear but recovers by second gear. This is secondary to banging exhaust. My tuner initially told me any knock that my car would ever see would be false because my car is tuned for nitrous. Just wondering if a .5 to .8 knock could slow the car. Is this real if I'm seeing it on Hp tuners?

I think the used cats are clogged, This is causing increased iats. pulling timing and increased engine temp.

This quote did not strike you odd at all? He's saying that since he's "tuned for nitrous" that real knock magically dissapears for ever and all knock seen is fake 100% of the time?

My tuner initially told me any knock that my car would ever see would be false because my car is tuned for nitrous.
