    How to Tune out knock

    I just recently took my car around the block to get a couple of pulls to start my tuning process. When I got back home I realized I have knock in 2 areas on my pull they both were at wide open throttle. I'm new to hp tuners and I need help answering two questions. 1) how do I tune in closed loop and two how do I pull out knock? I know that it could be not enough fuel, grade of fuel or temperatures too high. I'm thinking it's a fuel issue. I know there will be a lot of questions from me so let me layout what I have:

    - long tube headers and high flow cats
    - v3 A&A supercharger kit
    - methanol (not turned on yet) waiting to get tune right first
    - glowshift wideband
    - hp tuner pro

    More info:
    - my car start to knock at 4800rpm 1.1 KR and at 5100rmp 2.4KR
    - 5100 rpm / 1.1 KR/ AFR 12.38/ TPS 68.2/ spark 14

    that is the skinny as mentioned before I think it needs more fuel but not sure. Also where do I make the changes I'm thinking long term fuel trims correct?

    What are you working with?

    Have a tune file and logs to show what's going on?
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    Every one I have ever done with headers gets it a bit in this area. I just pull the problem cells until it's gone.
