I will not disable knock completely just for a power number, and if I think we are seeing false knock ill hook up our external knock sensor kit. I like to tune them to make as much power as possible with no knock, and that's how they leave the dyno cell. From there it will make pulls on the road to verify that no knock is present in the higher gears.

I think a lot of people get hung up on specific Afr numbers and certain timing figures for all ls engines, but in the end the motor will tell ya what it's happy with, whether it be 12.2 or 13.2 or 26* or 30* of timing.

I do agree it is good practice to dial in the tune with reasonable iat and ect to ensure that the base tables are good without any modifiers pulling away from them.
