Here is the climax of a data log I just did, I would assume this is false knock, picking up noise from procharger or LT headers? Pulling all my timing. Octane is around 97 in vehicle and built motor with 9.5:1 compression ratio. Wish I had the knowledge to tune my vehicle. :( :( :( :(

You're not gonna like this,but i'd pull the headers and wrap them.If your knock sensors are picking up the internal noises in the headers,the only way around that is to wrap the headers,or desensitize the knock sensors,which i don't think is a good idea.There's a few tuners who reconmend wrapping the headers these days instead of messing with the knock sensors sensitivity.One of the downsides is where the knock sensors sit,right under the headers primary tubes,and headers are notoriously loud with internal noises which the sensors will pick up.
