Knock Sensor Digital Readout Guage?

[ICPREY]

It has been my experience that most of the Viper tuners rely on old school techniques like reading plugs when it comes to WOT tunes.

It's crazy how much other platforms share their tuning/PCM/ECU info vs Dodge/SRT platforms. I use EVO techniques and EVOflash hardware to tune my 3000gt. There is a step by step tutorial on it.

I just had my mustang tuned and learned a lot about the options ford allows. The tuner was able to dial in the knock sensor sensitivity as well as how much timing it would pull when active. I wish there were more Viper tuners that could share this type of info on our systems.

The problem is our PCMs are slow and there's not a lot that can be changed. GM cars I tune have many tables and parameters for knock. You datalog where the knock occurs, and pull a couple degrees timing in that area and blend the areas just around it. Datalog again and verify your modifications.
It's knowing what tables to tweak and most importantly datalog,datalog, datalog. This brings up another issue, we don't have any software supporting our ancient PCMs operating system. Nobody really cares. HPTuners has made us promises for years and only recently have I been able to datalog certain PiDs with it.
Knock sensor itself usually operates by listening for a frequency (pitch) that's predetermined in the PCM and the PCM in turn pulls a certain amount of timing based on the knock sensor voltage seen.

I've had some decent datalog results using ScanXL pro on my Viper and Ram. The keys is to minimize the amount of PIDs you log at once. Still the options suck when compared to other platforms.

And here I was almost convinced that you were just some redneck who had no idea what he was doing. Good post, Scotty.
