Knock Control on Factory Tune

After being a little curious about the knock control numbers I was seeing on stage 2 on 93 octane and the crazy gas prices, I decided to revert back to stock on 87.

Stage 2 w/93 knock control was often reaching 56 under low rpm acceleration, but quickly settling down to 49.

Stock w/87 I rarely see 49,itI usually is at 53 at a steady lowest. It has crept into the 70s when slowly accelerating in 10th gear (auto cruse). I am not concerned as I hear no knocking ad the car performs as id did before owning the KTuner.

Gas mileage is about the same for both, usually around 25 mpg with mixed driving. It does drop if I don't average 30 mph for the tank. It gets much better on highway trips with a higher average.

This has given me more confidence in the safety using Stage 2 with 93. Anyone here monitor their stock tune? Please share.

My results on all good 93 (stg 2) brands in my area were very high (.80 after only a few pulls). I reverted to stock and tried some 87 (.50 - .72).

I am looking for answers on this as well.
2022 fully stock, stage 2 and 93 octane usually doesn't go over 0.54 on WOT pulls from a dig, even repeatedly. I know the weather is chilly right now (although its gonna be mid 60's this whole week so we will see).
I have the dual tune where eco is factory boost, and its usually around 0.48.

Sounds like you have some wonderful fuel! Keep getting from that area/station.
