i'm prolly going to start in the next couple of days especially after my diappointing dyno results this past weekend.

the knock sensor bypass will only be a tentative band-aid solution to see if it's the cause of the "heat soak" problem and maybe even see if its the cause of my power loss shown in my dyno. i do have a lifter knock that you hear at around 3k, so i wonder if the KS is picking that up as detonation. i KNOW it's not detonation b/c i use 94 octane and have the timing back to stock (15 degrees).

i will eventually replace my KS along with injectors and vtc's (if needed). just need to get down to the bottom of everything b4 i tear things apart.

Good idea..let us know how it works. That lifter tap might be setting off the ks.
