The knock computer or ECU (dependeing on series) would not retard the timing in the event of engine ping/knock/detonation.

If this is the car in your signature, then there is no knock sensor, so it wouldn't matter anyway.

you dont need a knock sensor and if your using an NA ecu then you cant use a knock sensor but if using a TII ECU you can go either way just make sure your on the rich side when running without a knock
