Try some higher octane fuel. Then check exhaust from manifolds back to see if there are any contact points that would cause excessive vibrations(knock sensors will pick this up as pinging). Also what type of trans mount do you have? I hear the poly-urethane mounts can transmit too much noise and vibration, causing the knock sensors to pick that up. If you can not find the culprit, and you conclude that it may be false knock, contact Tony (NINEBALL of this forum) he makes a knock sensor desensitizer.

Good idea with the Knockoutbox.
I´ll try that!

Austrian,
I used Tony's Box at the track and verified with A-tap, it showed 0 KR. Previously i was getting upwards of 4degrees. im very pleased with it.
just make sure your getting real knock. use good gas at t he track, (as added insurance)

Thanks for the update SSBoy! I've sold about 50 of these KO-Boxes so far, and nobody ever posts results <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> . I think I've only seen 3 people post results out of 50 haha. I guess they are all working, only one guy had problems with his and asked for the refund.
