    You only need to worry about knock at full throttle. At part throttle it's the ECU trying to lean out the mixture to save gas totally normal

    Further, WOT knock of <=1 you're good especially if it's just blimps and not pegged at 1 all the way.

    I
    It jumped to 5.95 this morning when I was in third going to fourth going up a slight hill. Not WOT or even close.

    Ok thanks a ton. I think the problem is with my current tune I’m running. It may be for 91 instead of 93.

    Who's your tuner? Putting in 93 if it's a tune for 91 is a non issue the problem would be of you had a 93 tune and filled up with 91.

    You also could have just gotten a bad batch of gas

    Seconded on this. To add to that, my MS6 starts getting KR and hesitations if I run the fuel down too low. I have to use a fuel injector cleaner like Lucas and within 5-10 miles it’s back to normal. I should replace the fuel filter at some point…
