In addition to unplugging it, I went through all the retard tables and just set all parameters to 0. Run the communicator to verify there's no knock. I ran it to double check myself and I missed a table or two.

set the values at idle to 0 degree's you can do it for all the tables and you will never have knock retard...in some cases of young tuners the pistons follow

start with 32 in the 90-100Kpa tables 3000 and up this will give you 34-37 at WOT

I think 37 or so is about what I get with no knock sensor. Maybe a little higher at times.

Well, I decided against turning the knock sensor off, and finally got the old sensor out. I had to warm up the car, soak the sensor with pb blaster, and use a cheater pipe to get the thing loose. Anyway thanks for all the help, as I will be needing tuning advise in the near future since my new tunercat program will be here this week. Headed to the track this morning, so wish me a new best.
