What's so "odd"  about NOT  pinging with AVGas...probably  110 LL  ?

The "ODD" thing is the knock ceases ABOVE  4000 rpm??...and you're on Boost 
by then...hopefully....if he raced it...

Why not just buy a SAFEGUARD  from Ray Sedman..   www.american-pi.com

Then you can enjoy the engine!  It also has VA  control port!
