Okay, normally I let things like this slide, but I've got to step in here. I know you're all probably just trying to help, but keep this in mind:

Number one, this thread is about Fastbird's 3SGTE swap, so let's please not fill it with endless posts about the GM knock sensor. Make another thread if you want.

Second, the GM knock sensor is NOT being used to "correct" a knock problem. If an engine is knocking, there is something WRONG with it, and replacing it with a "larger fuse" as you said would be a mistake.

THIS IS NOT WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

Fastbird is replacing the sensor because they often show up broken and he was one step ahead. I've read that thread that was mentioned above, and many more about the sensor. While there is no lack of argument on the subject, real world testing and results that have been delivered from ATSAaron AND John at J&S (You DO know who J&S is, don't you?) show that the GM knock sensor functions just fine. It's not a cure to knock and no one is saying it is! It's just a less expensive sensor that works perfectly fine.

Lastly, this is Fastbird's engine, Fastbird's swap, he's done the research, and it's his decision to make. Thank you all for your suggestions and comments. Case closed.
