knock sensor sensitivity reduction (gen 3)
knock sensor sensitivity reduction (gen 3) How do tuners determine what level of knock sensitivity to reduce to from stock? Specifically for HP tuners, there are a few tables related to this and my mail-order tune has the sensitivity reduced from stock however I'de like to know what guidelines you guys follow to determine what's safe.
Thanks

If it's a for-sure false knock, I put in a safe timing map (usually the 2002 C5 Zo6) and guess and check until the "knock" doesn't occur anymore. If it has to be reduced a ton, then there's something else going on. I had a lot of tip-in burst knock on my last car that I had to get rid of too. Turns out I had a primary tube hitting the frame.
