Default slight KR and misfire

Ive noticed from aerforce gauge that im getting some knock 3-4* at low rpms. Only happens when im in overdrive, and give it a little gas in the lower rpm area (1100-1400rpms) when the car is close to downshifting but doesnt. No misfires though. only misfire im getting is on cyl 1 in neutral with light revs.

Im hoping its only a plug, but i find it odd that i get no KR or misfires at WOT or even half throttle. gas mileage is consistent, and no SES lights. car has 70k, might just be time for new plugs. tr55s?

what octane are you using? still running an EGR? did you block it off and not get it tuned out?
