Two different questions I think...
Driving stock with knock? And what to do about it?
Stock motor with stock tune will handle knock unless you're beating the hell out of it. It's factory dialed down to keep the car from coming back to the dealer. As mentioned, dumping fuel to keep things cool! Lol...
If you are worrying about it because you want to beat on it and go faster, well then, check the safely modding your 3800 thread. There's plenty you can do to reduce the knock and make the driving more fun while keeping the engine quazy safe. Just remember the golden rule:
FAST/RELIABLE/CHEAP
You can only have two of those three at any one time, so chose wisely!
Good Luck!
