Re: Why is it knocking
if it wasn't tuned beyond 19psi, then you need to get it tuned to the max boost setting you are going to run.
Is that 98 ron or 98 ron+mon/2? if it's really just 91, then your probably at the limit of the fuel you are using.

Re: Why is it knocking
I'd blame it on the crappy MSD analog box, or the crappier Megasquirt, throwing off your ignition timing.
If you get something that can correctly control your coil dwell, like a chipped OBD1 ECU perfect example, you don't need a third rate ignition amplifier box to do a poor job of cleaning up the disaster of a coil signal that MS puts out with it's cutting edge pull down menu w/ less than ten canned coil profiles.
