Its perfect for those people though, and they should all be buying one.
RE: knock maps/algorithm - Not much use if they aren't properly calibrated. Has anyone (e.g. Hydra or some fanatical member) generated an accurate table or tuned the algorithm?

The knock function is based on a count threshold. Basically, if the engine sees what needs to be defined as ignition knock beyond a certain count it defaults timing and fuel to a limp home map which flickers the CEL and runs like total crap... I have not been too far into this because I have been setting up really basic road tunes just to get these systems going... I have done my best to make it absolutely clear to all owners it needs to be tuned by a certified Hydra tuner, who should be making the proper trims for knock thresholds
