K24a2 Knock Issue

I just swapped in the K24a2 motor into my 2002 Civic Si. I'm running the stock TSX map from Hondata on an RSX K-Pro ECU. I just datalogged my car because it seems to have a little knock issue. It logged 18 knocks from second to fifth gear in the RPM range of 5000-5500. It seems to be running a little rich when the knock occurs, but I may be wrong. I am also using 91 octane because I live in California. Here is my datalog file. Any insight as to why I am having a knock issue would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you are getting knock, try reducing the timing in the areas where it is knocking. If it goes away, you have solved the problem, if not, remove more timing if you remove 5 degrees and it s till knocks, it may be false knock readings.
