Thats what a knock sensor pretty much is, an electronic microphone. The hard part is to program the DME to recognize whats knock, whats not, and whats acceptable and whats ideal. That meth injection is going to rock though  |

I just got my little custom h20/met valve controller from across the pond. Pretty cool how it works. I'll be able to meter out the cocktail and into the intake with the precision of a fuel injector. Probably far more accurately then motor will ever care.
So ya, maybe I won't ever be challenging the Knock sensors. But a microphone eh, no sh_t. I suppose though if you could capture the DME processed & calulated knock signal, you have sound a buzzer or somthing. On the wireing diagram for the DME, I think it shows an unused pin labeled "knox"
Your right that the go fast technology is pretty established. I think the Japanese cars have a leg up though in that they don't have very high compression. I think those guys running a 25psi boost are doing it on a stock block. If we really wanted to, we'd tear our motors down and get some custom lower compression pistons & rings...they can be had... 'bout $100 each
