I am seeing Very short KN sensor readings through 1/4 mile runs.
They will appear mostly when I first mash the pedal. I see .05 then there gone till gear 2. Then I am barely seeing it intermittently through the run, Max spikes at .01, to .03. Never reaching .04. There all short and not constant. Is this safe or not? Yes? No? I appreciate you input. Thanks.

Could be false knock , I got knock retard on my first to second shift , I added some fuel and it went away ....

A little won't hurt - this is a log of a 10.006 pass I made last Saturday.

I would however get rid of those NGK plugs as the stock OEM work a lot better. I've actually had KR at friggin idle one time with them.

same thing happens with mine, random knock sometimes. I changed the sensitivity of my sensors which can be dangerous, and it helped a little ive been trying to find what other people do to fix this, for some reason these things are really sensitive.

That small of KR is not anything to be concerned about --Most likely it is
"false knock "anyway---Some performance mods especially headers or aftermarket exhaust or valve train will create some new different engine noises----These noises are interpreted by your knock sensors as KNOCK when in fact the noises are coming from elsewhere---
