LT4 knock module and boost - yea or nea?
roller rockers, headers, adjustable guideplates - all making extra noise.
will it hide boost detonation?
you guys running with an LT4 module?
thanks

I don't think it hides detonation. Once I got my car tuned right and wasn't getting false knock or real knock, I increased the timing it pulls for added protection and didn't lose performance. When it's all working the way it should I was just seeing little retard blips when it shifts and the load changes suddenly at high load and it probably knocks a little.

I suppose it should not hide 'real' detonation, or LT4 vette's would have all blown up!
I need to do exactly what you did Kevin, and for now I want to eliminate any 'false' knock, then tune out what remains. Guess I need an LT4 knock module...

Made a world of difference for me. My PCM was pulling like 10deg NA, until I put this in. Felt like i was running on 6 cylinders. Still picks up knock just fine, the Scanmaster shows it real time.

Exactly the same experience I had with my 94 - eliminated what appeared to be false knock, but I still saw knock retard on my Scanmaster when there was real knock - e.g. when I got a tank full of Sunoco 94 octane that really wasn't 94 octane.

Is that correct?
I don't need Scanmaster to actually retard the timing in 'bad gas' situtatins, do I? The ECM will do it for me as much as max allowed settings, right?
I have healthy max allowed retard - just to be safe.
So far in areas I have max retard @ 14 degrees it has pulled out like 5 degrees and quickly tapered down..sound like I'm on the right track?
