I know a lot of cars do have a tendency to have a nasty single knock on one or two cylinders when grabbing the next gear suddenly. I don't want to take any timing out there because it doesn't knock there when in steady state.

I'm tempted to lower spark retard intensity 1 & 2 as we all know a -10 degree timing pull (ALL of the timing advance) is excessive for ANY knock event. I do like the feeling of having a huge safety margin though.

Are there any other/better tricks?
