From time-to-time I will get very slight knock retard right off idle - up to 2 degrees in the Front Cyl from 1186-2016 RPM at 3.6-4.1 % TP and up to 2 degrees in the Rear Cyl from 1131-2041 RPM at 3.2-4.1% TP.

I figured I would increase the VEs by 1 unit in the corresponding cells and reflash the ECM.  The question I have is this, is it really worth worrying about areas with 2 degrees or less of knock retard, especially right off idle?  At what point (degrees) do you stop worrying about knock retard on a tune?

Thanks,

If it's only once in a while I would not worry about it in your case. Now if it's more often then not and it's more than 2 degrees I would look into it.
The Best you know, is the Best you've had........ not necessarily the Best.
