knock retard = power loss?

i read that for every 1 deg of knock retard you lose rougly 2 hp . When i mash the gas to the floor i logged 11 deg of knock retard. Would 11 deg of knock retard make the car stumble?

I think it would make it seem like its not going as fast as it should due to the timing. Change to the LT4 knock module and it will eliminate alot of that knock.
