around 1.1 bar does the job well

good idea to get a knocklink though!

 

Best? For the engine longevity is probably around 0.1. Seriously though, two options IMO:
1- get a knocklink as already suggested and see where you can in safely take it to.
2- get it chipped and remapped to take advantage of your mods and still run nice and safe. That way you'll have a fair amount of certainty things are as they should.

And always run the highest octane fuel you can and perhaps add some octane booster too.
