What mV's are the NBO2s reading (B1S1/B2S1)? What mods do you have done? Did you search in here for "Predator"? There's been several threads recently that address what you should do for fueling. If your fueling is close, then I'd start pulling timing.

How much compression? I have 11.5 and have the timing set back to 25 for road racing. At 26 it knocks. This is with 50% 104 race fuel, and 50% pump gas.

My guess is you are lean. Shoot for .890 to .900 on the NBs.

.890 to .900 will put you VERY close to 13:1....On my car its actually 12.8

If you still get knock go richer or higher on the voltages (.900 plus)....

Messing with the injector tables is often a sign of sloppy tuning. I would also venture to guess that you are running lean. If you have your PE table set to your desired AFR and you are at 24* WOT, it's gotta be lean. At that point, you need to start looking at your higher RPM MAP areas on your VE table. Also, if it's pinging under normal load, at what RPM and MAP? If it's at lower RPM's, you might be getting TPS knock, which is basically not real knock. If it's somewhere in you regular powerband, I'd say you need to totally redo your VE table.

Thats not gonna help ping at criuse. I would find the area where it pings at cruise. Map,Maf/RPM. If you look at your timing table either in tab or 3-d, you'll notice it ramps up thru the midrange, and then tapers down as the RPMs increase. This area where it ramps up in the midrange, is where you want to take some out. You dont have to reduce the whole table.
Alot of times they will start to ping down low and pull a few degrees and then start adding it back in. Its this lower part of the table that if you take just a couple degrees out, and keep it from pulling any to begin with, you can usually keep more timing in up top.

I'm guessing you don't have a wideband. What are your PE values? Did you ever tune the VE table? Also, as far as your crusing knock, I still say it's TPS knock.

Ok, if your just worried about WOT then just monitor the 02s @ WOT with your predator. If they're over .900 your ok.

if you're running that close to knock levels, that means you're WAY past maximum power. most engines i've seen have about 6-10* of space where they dont knock, but dont make max power either. so at this point you're just stressing the motor and making cylinder temps go up without a benefit. back off at least 5*, adjust AFR, see how it runs.

24 degree's is about right for a 2001 stock motor setup. Sounds like the WOT is too lean.Richen it up through PE and see if the KR goes away.

About 90% of the Predator tunes we see are way too lean at WOT which can be fixed in the PE.
