If Knock occurs does pcm adjust timing with DST tune?

Diablo if a short term or long term knock occurs does the pcm adjust timing with a trinity tune installed?

It'll still pull timing. Thats why KR costs you power.

I've been logging and have recorded st knocks but no lt knocks. Does anyone know how severe a st knock has to be before the pcm will adjust timing?

If you are getting a lot of knock then just run the 91 tune on 93 octane. Lots of people prefer this method including myself

If I could only find 93. Its getting hard enough to just find 91 without 10% ethanol in it. I have gone as far as returning to stock tune then modified stock so that I can record data and have found that I still get st knock(and thats while running 91 octane on stock tune). Wondering if anyone else has gone that far. Starting to think these hemi engines are just prone to have knock problems :cry:
