So I'm guessing my car is sensing knock and retarding timing and increasing fuel? Isn't knock or changing timing a bad thing?
The stock fuel map is very rich in the high rpm/load values from the factory so it's likely that's what you are seeing with rich afr at higher loads.

Also it's doubtful you are running into the knock maps because the flags (where the ecu listens) for knock are mostly in the low rpm/high load section of the maps.
