Knock Tables
Hey tuners can you tell me if you guys consider the stock knock tables too sensitive?. In what situations other than false knock from engine harmonics do you adjust the tables and actually make more power from the tune?

I don't think the stock knock tables would be too sensitive on a stock motor. Unless you have aftermarket internals, you normally shouldn't have to mess around with those tables.
False knock is the only reason you want to adjust them; a knocking engine won't make more power than one that is properly tuned to not knock, and even if it does, if the ECU isn't adjusting the timing to keep the knock under control, it'll only have that extra power until something goes boom...

Everytime i go to my tuner to get tuned i lift the knock threshold line out of the way by raising the multipliers, let him do his thing on Det cans and then drop the multipliers back down until i start to see 1 or 2 counts. I then know i have a sweet tune and knock protection from the ECU in the event of bad fuel or unusual load.
