knock retard... suggestions?

On my last logged run i got up to 10.3 deg of Knock Retard and this was at 1650 rpm's . Im guessing its the exhaust and my poly tranys mount maybe causing vibrations. My question is should i just program it out? any other ideas? I tune my own car and increased spark advance from 90kpa to 100 (wot) so obviously this is not the problem. Im baffled.

thanks

Re: knock retard... suggestions?

You first need to prove to yourself that it's false knock before you program it out. Run 100 octane gas and see if the knock goes away; if it does, you've got true knock and need to determine why it's knocking. If the knock persists even with the race gas, it is then likely it's false knock caused by vibrations.
