No this is incorrect. The canned tune does not disable them. It used to desensitize them a little as do most tuners when they tune for a big cam to alleviate the false knock. Edelbrock has returned the parameters to stock though just to avoid trouble. They did it as the s/c throws some more noise than the normal engine does. You can upgrade your software to the latest version on-line with them. I talked to the guy in charge of the Edelbrock tune today.

If your looking for more than the kit was made for then your taking a chance. Its not what can be done its for how long it can be done for on pump gas.
Again.. its a cast piston it wont handle much abuse from bad gas... keep the boost down and the timing pulled ...
