If you tossed more timing at it, likely you'd see more knock. Heck..it could be that the torque of the sensor was a smidge off. The torque of the sensor effects the sensitivity.

If you think it's false, turn down the sensitivity in the tune and run as much timing/boost as you'd like w/o seeing any knock. I don't think that would be good long term though.

Most of the blocks I pull knock sensors out of have a build up on top of the sensor. It's tough to tell how that effects the readings, because the only time they usually get pulled is when something broke etc.
Bill, I didn't know the torque of the knock sensor effects it's sensitivity. Do you know what the correct torque is supposed to be? I just put a tiny bit of rtv near the outer edge and tightened up mine. Not crazy tight but just "tight" by feel you know what I mean.... I too get a blip of KR in the 2nd to 3rd shift right around 100 mph. How do you set the sensitivity in the tune? Is it just a setting in the tune like timing or shift point etc? I saw the same 1 to 2* when I was running 93 gas and a 3.2 pulley. Seems just about everybody on here with a scan gauge see a degree or two of KR. Am I wrong?
