If you are just cruising dont worry about it, WOT you may lose some horse power, but if you are going down the road it is probably false KR. This comes from bumps and vibrations (there is a sensor under the intake manifold that senses for vibrations that may be the engine knocking from bad gas etc.). I have logged 4 degrees cruising around and at the same time i have logged no KR on WOT when my y-pipe is playing the steel drums on the floor board. If you are worried about it look for Nine Ball's sig, it has a link that you will find interesting.
