You can take off the face plate and make your own to show a KR scale, from 0-15* of retard. I think with some research and logging it could work pretty well.

I think most forced induction and N2O guys would rather see knock in real time rather than on a data log, after they have blown there motor.

check this **** out i just had a cool *** idea. ok first of nock guage from a/f meter cool idea but even better what if you aslo install an adjustable rheostat to retard knock if needed then you would know your knock and be albe to adjust for false knock for timing retard perposes.

all in a perty little package

FWIW they make a knock gauge for the old turbo buicks. If you/someone would make a knock gauge for our trucks I would buy one.
