That sounds like a pretty good start to me!
Of course, every car is going to be a little different.
For my DSM, I tune for knock and not EGTs so much. My car can have knock that can be tuned out without ever having significant changes in the EGTs. Of course 'if' the WI is turned off, the EGTs go through the roof!
I think another good thing to mention is trying different mixtures of Methanol and distilled water. I have found that I am able to lean out my fuel without knocking a bit more when I run less than 50% methanol. Maybe like 40/60 meth/water. I think this is because my knock is mostly a result of heat soak of the intercooler and so I need more water to do more cooling.
That's all I have, for now.
