What would you do?

First the details
1.8 VVT
9.5 CR
84mm forged pistons
Manley connecting rods
Stainless steel valves
Duel springs
BE oil pump
TDR Rotrex SC kit making 14 psi at 7000 rpm
I started with a conservative ignition table and I’ve been adding 2 deg at a time between data logging run. So far I haven’t seen any knock and the motor feels stronger each time. I’m now at what I think is a moderately aggressive ignition table but still not seeing any knock. I know the knock sensor work because the other day I was working with the VVT tuning and accidently went full advanced at idle which caused the engine to stall. I was data logging at the time and knock went to over 100.
I know that the best thing would be to take it to a dyno but I don’t have one in my area so its street tuning for me.
So the questions is, if this was your car what would you do? Would you continue to add timing? Would you say this is enough HP leave it alone?
