Correct. I asked for pull out timing at high rpm to get zero knock correction. i intend to track the car, any knocking at that rpm is particularly dangerous in my mind. Also because boost controller set to reduce boost to 1.1bar for 1.3bar setting.

Car feels fast above 3.5k rpm. Relative transient state on the dyno make the power band look smaller than it drives like imo. Its more like 2k rpm usable power.
