LT4 knock module
How do you know if you need it/what is it for? And what are the benefits of it?
I see it a lot on here in people's signatures and im wondering why so many people run them. Enlighten me all, just wondering if i should get it if it is worth it or not.

An informative link... just ignore the source of the part, since the guy who used to give big discounts at Lambert is no longer there.

Re: LT4 knock module
Thanks a lot, never really knew why people did it. So is it worth it with my mods? He does say that if you are N/A and run 93 octane that you SHOULDN'T have knock... Is that true? I do have pretty loud exhaust and valvetrain noise is louder as well with the 1.6 rr and cam kit.

I would only try an LT4 KM after you've verified you have a false knock problem. Even then, it may not solve the problem. It might also be worse as it was in my case.

Re: LT4 knock module
Yeah, i dont have a scanmaster or any scanning tool. Is there a way to find this out without getting one of those things? Like maybe taking it somewhere and they plug my car in and tell me if i have false knock?
