If your knock sensor worked perfectly then that would find the knock limit, but not ideal ignition timing, which may be less. A dyno is the only way.

If i want to tune for economy on cruising. Is it tune to VTC 30 degree and a/f 14.7? What should i set the ignition timing on cruising speed for economy? Thanks for help!

Ignition timing doesn't make much difference at part throttle. Anything from 30-50 degrees works. We use stock tables in that area.
