    I only get a small blip of knock when letting off or or shifting at WOT. Recently I have been getting some knock under light throttle, with a load on the engine between 1k-2k rpm.

    Buy 606 coppers, 0.60" gap. If she's happy, swap to 606 iridiums so you don't have to keep changing spark plugs (or don't if you like the chore).
    If she's not happy, try 605 coppers. If she's still not happy, then you broke something.

    You didn't tell us what your current spark plugs are, so they could be the issue. Old version ZZP wires make knock, and I'll bet your tune isn't as dialed-in as you think it is.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
