[Diy_efi] Ignition Timing

[Jim Butterfield]

Gm uses these knock sensors to the hilt.. when the detonation occurs the pcm pulls timing on the car to slow you down and slow get things back in check... the only time Ive seen popped pistons is when someone had a failure.. like fuel pump not working or working poorly... and when people mod there cars ( dropping pulley size to increase boost) and not scanning there cars... you cant beef up modern cars without knowing whats going on inside.. 
 
the gm knock sensor works great for our application... :)
