I believe our knock sensors are just very sensitive. Torco seems to be the remedy for this issue. We need to gather more data on the KCLV and get more peoples numbers that are on the stock tune. I just tested my buddies recently and his values were in the 17's on the stock tune. Obviously that's only 1 person but I think it would be beneficial to get more data on the issue. What are people's opinions of decreasing the sensitivity of the knock sensors slightly?

Pole Position
My understanding from other members is that if they got the KCLV value to go up into the low 20's (whether through Torco, Octane booster, or WOT pulls in 4th through 8th) is that it stood there and didn't go back down after getting the level up unless the knock sensors detected knock, or bad gas and pulled the value (timing) back into the teens.

My initial reaction is to ask how would this be accomplished? A different tune? Different knock sensors? Are the sensors themselves adjustable?
My second reaction is negative. I bought this car because it's reliable & powerful. I would not wish to defeat this particular factory safeguard, given fuel quality variances.
If my only goal was power, I would've bought a different vehicle, like that 700+ hp Mustang.
