It only helps if you are getting false knock readings. If you aren't getting any knock retard, or if you are but it is due to real knock/pinging/detonation, then the LT4 KM won't help. In fact in the latter case it would make the situation worse.

Well you need to be able to scan the PCM and read, among other things, KR at full throttle all the way through the RPM range. There could definitely be sub-audible pining.
