Really? As I have been lead to believe, the factory knock sensor is a weak microphone based one that doesn't work at higher RPM's (above 4K IIRC). Knock is common on 04's stock as I mentioned before. The ECU will pull timing at specific RPM's and this could manifest itself as a flat spot in the powerband. It's really a bandaid to the problem and not a solution though.
