In OD cruising at 65 I'll sometimes get into the gas slowly up to 80 mph and see some knock like 0.2 to 0.8 and not being in boost. Then It will go away. Should I just raise the FP a little?

is the car kicking out of lockup or or OD? if so it may be transitional knock. If its staying in Lockup it could be just because of the load on the engine.
I usually get knock at highway speeds when the car downshifts.

well i tested the egr by pushing up on the diaphragm while engine was idling and then engine stumbled as I pushed up on it.

Does your scanmaster show spark advance? Maybe there's a hair too much timing. I don't think fuel pressure would help because the computer will correct for it.
There is a lot of load when the tcc is locked and in od.
