The LT4 has louder overall noise produced by the engine (valvetrain, exhaust, and whatnot.) The knock module for the LT4s, therefore, have a higher tolerance for noise readings before pulling timing to adjust for knock. Anybody with a loud setup on their car finds this Knock module useful because it will not pull for "false knock" on their LT1 engines due to a simple loud setup, which keeps their timing correct and power up. yay!

This could fix some of your problems. Especially since at 4500rpm and WOT with a loudmouth can be noisy. I would get it and try it out. You cant lose by getting it and its very easy to install.

I have heard you can lose about 10-15hp or more due to false knock. Losing this much power is something you can fill too.

Generally if all you have a is a catback system, the issue *probably* isn't with the KM pulling timing for false knock. However, the part is only like $30 and if you plan on continuing modifications (headers, top-end, etc.) you will need to get this anyway. Might as well throw it in, it takes literally 2 mins to plug in.
