What you’re referring to is called detonation or preignition it has nothing to do with the knock or ticking noise that were talking about .

what you mean detonation? the motor would be damaged and running like crap if detonation occured. my knock is measured on the nguage tuner device , and they mentioned before if it goes past +5 than to notify them, but when im on the gas harder it never happens , it only spikes up sometimes as i mentioned while doing same speed travel and light on the throttle it jumps around sometimes but its been doing this for quite some time with no issue at all. not sure why nor does the tuner.

Having KR up to about 6 under light load is almost always False knock. Ford engineers definitely spent a lot of time to combat LSPI. Trust me you would know if it was detonation.
