Real Knock or Phantom Knock?

[Kracka]

Considering you said stock intercooler and SA gas in the same sentance I'm going to go ahead and assume that is real knock. The only widely available pump gas in Minnesota worth running is BP (preferably 93-octane).

I got a recommendation to change the knock sensor's settings a bit; 30% throttle and 2500 RPM. Did that and no more knock. I think it might have been picking up the lifters and the BSE.
Of course, the SMIC doesn't help nor does pump gas. I also upped the fuel as well to hopefully help compensate. But given it was at such a low RPM and only happened after so long a time, I'm thinking it was more than likely the temperatures and the lifters ticking after the oil getting so hot.
Really gotta get that FMIC on. Soon.
