So, basically it's a light that flashes to let you know you've blown your motor ?

Viking does have a point,
Unless you have a built motor that could handle a few knocks, your motor will probably be gone the first time that light comes on if its bad.

Search under 'water injection,' 'aquamist,' 'methanol injection.' And tone it down a bit, I don't see how you can be upset when people are giving you their opinions. That;'s what you're looking for, right ?

Well it just really pisses me off when you ask a simple question on here and you always get these people that shouldnt even post in your thread. The light SHOULD light up before knock thats why I was wondering how GOOD it works.

I doubt anyone has used it. I've never seen one before.

If you're concerned with preventing detonation, buy an Aquamist system, install it, and call it a day.

Relax dude, we all kid around here.

Seriously, don't waste your money. Use that money towards the Steve Kan tune in March

I remembering spending $750 for the J&S Knocksensor/Retard System. I thought that would keep me from breaking motors. I think I went through 4 engines with that. That was the Hurley Seals/KD Rotary era.
