can knock sensors be tuned out?
i was installing a knock sensor today and i broke the stem that it bolts into.i no longer have a place to mount the rear knock sensor.one of my options is to mount it to the side of the block.there are supposedly more holes where i would be able to mount it.now i was wondering if there is a way to delete the knock sensor totally?like in a tune?

slowhawk curious as to why you delete them? do you find you get a lot of false knock? ive often wondered how accurate the knock sensors are when you doubling and tripling the stock power levels... just asking because i have considered it before

Are there aNy benefits to tuning them out? Doing a turbo build and am tearing down my engine to clean it and was wondering if it'd just be better to buy a new valley cover with out the knock sensor holes

For 80 years there was no such thing as a knock retard, cars had to be tuned for the worst fuel and conditions from the factory. Nowadays, cars are turned for economy and have to eek out all the hp they can.
