Car is knocking badddd!

[Teamdiesel]

I have just finished my build and used a map from my last setup (which is similar to this one) to run the car until the tuner arrives next month. The setup is as follows:
85.5mmx92mm GSR block
Fully race ported RLZ GSR head (chambers opened to 85mm)
12.5:1 cr
Skunk2 stage2 cams (tuner series)
Skunk2 header
Skunk2 70mm exhaust
VictorX IM
RC 550cc injectors
NGK #7 plugs
Skunk Pro cam gears
Supertech valvetrain
Hondata S300
AEM wideband
AEM CAI

A few other things but you get the point. My problem now is that the engine is audibly knocking bad between 2000-4500 rpms (haven't carried it past 4500 since startup last week). I use 89-92 octane pump gas (only type available :() and this happens mostly when I give 45% throttle going up hills or when I am in a high gear and press down. I would appreciate some help as this is my only transport at the moment.

Remove timing from the problem area and get the car tuned on the dyno ASAP.

[Teamdiesel]

remove how much at a time?

2-3 degrees....see if it goes away

[Teamdiesel]

should I adjust fuel with these timing changes?

Please take a look at the Tuning Guide at http://www.hondata.com/stech.html

I have taken out up to 4 degrees and it still knocks slightly in 4th going up hill. Should I take out more or is there a downside to taking out too much timing in the lower regions?

[Spunkster]

Any detonation is bad, keep removing timing until it is gone. You really should get this dyno tuned to run safely.

how do i transfer/export a hondata s300 timing map to a program like snapfire?

with a setup like that id be towing it to a tuner... the price you'd pay to ensure the longevity of your motor is insignificant in comparison to the price you paid for the parts.
