Your first log dated 5-25? Your Pid file is massive, but I assume on that run you only had a few pids running, as I can't see your AFR or Fuel Trims at all. I saw the few incidences of 'knock recorded'. On the second run 4-01-09, I do not see any knock recorded at all. At best I see some +Trims, but no wideband data logged.

If you can post your tune along with a log displaying AFR and where you are getting knock that will help.

If you are legitimately getting 'pinging' especially on throttle-tip in..back off on that spark advance or add some fuel. A lot of times you can eliminate the phenomena of 'burst knock', but real knock requires you back off on that spark advance.
