Get a Catch can if you don't have one, and STOP USING SHELL GAS. Shell always knocks like crazy. The additives have no knock resistance. Use Exxon/Mobil or BP only. They have the most resistance, which Hemis need badly.

LT knk retard start from 1500 rpm to 2300rmp and varies from .5 to 2

I'm running 91 oct with the 91 oct cai tune, no catch can which is in the mail.

same fuel as usual (been tuned for 4 months now if not more)

The above brands are not available in my city (quebec, canada) there for running ESSO gas

My Maggie never liked Esso gas that much. I run Petro-Canada 91 or Ultra 94 and rarely get any knock. The new Shell gas in Canada with Notrogen knocks worse than Esso. The Pioneer 93 is pretty good if you can get it. I have not tried the smaller brands like Ultramar, etc. in my car but I have had to put it in my Harley and it's heavily tuned. I never saw much knock so it may be okay.
