It's suppossed to help if you have roller rockers or headers by making the knock sensors less "sensitive".

Default LT4 Knock Module

In the LT4 because of the increased valvetrain harmonics associated with the roller rockers, GM used a knock module that was less sensitive than the LT1's.

I'm using the LT4 K/M in my car, not sure how much it really helps.

I hope your not paying the shop much to install the K/M. Because it only takes about 5 minutes to do.

Default Knock Retard

I hope it helps. Were you getting alot of spark retard?

I have a supercharged Ford Lightning, and its knock sensor is turned off from the factory, because the supercharger is so noisy.

Default Tuning

The LT4 knock module may help with a little spark retard. But, if you are getting alot, that needs to be addressed in the tuning.

$25 is a real good deal on one. I paid $28 plus shipping from GM Parts Direct. I put mine in after I installed 1.6 RRs and could tell a difference in so far as more consistent power.
