Seems like a good idea for a new motor. Especially one that is a bit loud. 
Anyone have any experience with these devices, good or bad ?
What brand ?

No there are aftermarket units. MSD makes one, you screw the sensor into one of the block drains, it is expensive though at $250

It's a good idea and normally all sensors can be 'tuned' to their specific engine and noise level. You basically make it less sensitive. I used to have electric diagrams for doing just that, but I couldn't find them right away. Don't know if it'll work for the aftermarket thingy.

They can work.....just have to desensitize them for forged pistons and solid cam noise.
