this is pretty good normal log

Reduced timing a bit more. The car is running hot. The ECT reached 200F at one point and your IATs are a little high as well. High temps can also cause knock. Create another log. What fuel are you running?

What is the average temperature where you live.

i live in maryland so right now average like 40/50 degrees

A lower temp thermostat will help keep ECTs down. I would look into the 8th gen forum to see what others have ran. If temps rise the engine will pull timing.

A cold air intake will help keep the IATs down. Similar to the ECTs, IATs pull timing as well to prevent knock.

Knock has been present as I believe the timing is a little aggressive. Once timing is dialed in properly the IAT and ECT tables will be able to reduce timing to prevent knock properly. I only mentioned this issue because if you get tuned and you randomly feel some power loss it would be due to these high temps.

yeah i understand what youre saying it makes sense. ill also do my doing of research as well on thermostats and maybe upgrading rad.. i just got intake in the mail so im opening it up ill get time to install tmr and/or saturday (work schedule). so as far as it seems my intake should help ?

There is only 1 count of knock. I reduced timing a bit in that area. You should be good to normal drive the car. I suggest you install the intake when you are ready for a proper tune. The MAF adjustments that I made will have to be redone to get the car running properly again but not only that once you change the intake the car should be switched to run on speed density. Reach out when you're ready.
