112 after being parked for a while isn't unheard of. Maybe think about doing the fan mod.
110 knock is kinda high, but you can't trust the knock reading really. All a knock sensor does is detect vibration. A loud *** exhaust can throw the readings out of whack. It will fluctuate alot while cruising around, but should be pretty low during a WOT pull. My car usually stays around 30-40 peak at WOT. Make sure the sensor is tight in the block.

if the knock reading happened during the "bucking"...that's probably true knock. You could turn the PIM voltage up in that rpm range as a quick fix, or take it to a reputable rx7 "tuner" to get it up and running properly. Whoever did Justin's (Demetrious?) has a wideband/datalogit and can do it with 3 easy runs.
