It's already been confirmed in previous posts, but I'll double confirm. On the Ecoboost positive knock is the pcm retarding spark advance. Negative is the pcm advancing it.

On older vehicles with lesser quality knock sensors any knock was a bad thing, with the advances we have now it's not as big of a deal.

That doesn't mean advance the timing as much as you want and the knock sensors will recover. It simply means they are really sensitive and will show knock activity frequently. When you retard the timing in the tune and find the point of no more knock you will see the sensors adding in timing back to a level where it was previously knocking.

On your comment about race gas, make sure it's not leaded. You'll kill your widebands rather quickly with leaded fuel.

How can i see the knock value in my datalogs? I have a livewire TS, but I am not seeing this PID in my datalogs...Is this something i can enable?

Were logging with sct livewire on the PC through the sct.

Thanks. I used to do this with my xcal 2 wayback. Is there a tutorial somewhere for the livewire ts to do this?

CoreyMS

It has a guide me. I've been saying I was going to make a tutorial for the eco, when I get time.

Is there a way to read it on Torque?
