I was very familiar with knock sensors long before I owned a raptor, and I was fairly certain all the tuners kept them functioning to some degree to help avoid a mess if you got a bad batch of gas or otherwise went way out of tune etc.  The fact that this tune keeps them in a nearly stock config or perhaps even more sensitive is quite desirable though - I’m sure you take a small horsepower penalty over the competitors due to not tuning specifically around an expected variable - but I’m perfectly fine with that!  The truck scoots.You mentioned all the other tuners could include the same base function, and I agree - however I don’t know if they do, and IF they do on request is there a larger horsepower penalty vs a tune designed that way from the ground up?  I noticed gearhead tunes for similar power plants also pay respect to the turbo speed specifications, that’s also a bonus in my book..  if yall could get past forming opinions about the name there’s really a solid product here..In addition, I take no issue with a person/company naming one of their flagship products after a somewhat unique feature - even if the base logic for said feature was on the truck from OEM in some form.  Quite honestly, the purposeful mention of it and the deliberate inclusion of an “similar to stock” octane strategy is a selling point for me, even if it’s just a feel good measure as I’ll likely stay on 93 always..If HammerBuilt and Gearhead were in here bashing the goosetune product or similar - I’d say all this warrants a debate, but I haven’t seen that.Just my .02</blockquote>
