    more na-t crap

    Knock sensor wire length

    i have two 8' cables with knock sensors on each end ready to go. the 2 spots on the harness that are between the injector clips has the 2 original brown knock sensor wires. you can see them in the pictures. what is the measurement between that and the connector?

    question on the 7m

    ^^^ there are allot of fail-safe's built in that standalone's just dont offer.i did not take that into account. For the average 7M owner, its just not nessesary. BTW, have you been in a 350hp 7M? You might stop and say WTF was i thinking with just upping the boost with a better exhaust.
