So i got my car tuned and we hooked up the laptop up and the knock sensor was picking up 15 counts of knock at idle. The sensor is brand new and the wiring looked okay. Before i was getting 43 counts of knock then i replaced the sensor and now its at 15. I am currently running Speed Density setup and was able to get the car tuned to 20 psi which is running really good but would like to turn it up a little more.Tthe knock sensor was ignored during the tune, but was also tuned very moderate so no damage would occur to engine. Do you guys think its going to be an issue?I want to run 25 psi, should i be okay turning it up a little more from 20 Thanks for the help.
 
I know you said you replaced the knock sensor with a new one but did you torque it? I know it seems damn near impossible to do but using a crows foot it should be torqued to 17ft lbs.

I did not torque it. I will try it later this week since it is at the body shop getting painted. Thanks for the help
