To knock sense or not knock sense, that is the question?

Maybe its just non-sense, but I want to know.

When should a knock sensor be used?
I have a speed density 351w, that has knock disabled in hardware.
The stock 6cyl and I believe the 302 have knock sensor enabled.

My engine will hopefully be 400ish hp/tq at the crank once I'm done building.

Any reason I should or shouldn't enable knock sensor?

I'm having fun hacking the hardware, once it's enabled I could always disable it.

You habe to write custom code to get the knock sensor to work correctly.

So, even though my bin has the KNOCK STRATEGY ENABLE LOGIC, it still needs to be customized more?

Code: Select all

SPKKNOCK_LL:

Sub Routines
KNOCK_HARDWARE_PRESENT:
KNOCK_THRESHOLD_SENSE_(KTS)_LOGIC:

Switch:
KIHP 

Calibration Constants:
KNKCYL 
ECTNOK
LODNOK

Bit Flags:
B7_KIHP_9e 
B3_KNOCK_DETECTED_4f 
B6_KNOCK_STRATEGY_4f 
B7_KNOCK_OCCURRED_4f
