Another question regarding my low torque
I just went over the work sheets from the shop that did the perf mods and I fine no mention of an LT4 knock-module being installed.
How can I determine this for myself that there is indeed one there? (besides calling the builder and asking him, which at this point I'd rather not).

Re: Another question regarding my low torque (MagikDraggin)
What is this? NO ONE knows how I can tell if I have an LT4 knock module?
What is it and where is it located and how can I recognize it?
Please.....(pretty please?)

Re: Another question regarding my low torque (scorp508)
Ok, I called the Chevy dealer in town and they say, their books only show one knock sensor for ALL 96 corvettes.....LT1's AND LT4's.
Yet people tell me I NEED an LT4 knock sensor in my modded LT1.
What gives?
(And yes Scorp, it is located in the center of the ECM) but how do I tell if it is an LT4 knock sensor?

1. Knock Sensor: Located in your engine block, detects the frequencies.
2. Knock Module: Located in your ECM box, decides what to do with the frequencies.
They all have #1, but there are different #2s.
Not a vette, but the same thing...

I think this is what you need. LT4 Knock Module GM Part #: 16214681

You asked them the wrong thing or they told you the wrong thing. There are 2 parts here with similar names.

You hit that one right square on the head Scorp! I pulled the ECM and flipped it over, removed the cover and voila!......I've got the wrong module in there.
Went and bought the correct one, installed it, drove the car around for awhile so the compooter could get its bearings back again, and romped on that sucker.
NOW, it does what everybody has been telling me it should do...it lights 'em up and screams off the line.
Thanks for the help scorp....couldn't have done it withoutcha!
