If you have the breathing mods the 185 memcal is the finishing touch but you might want a knock sensor harness to guard against poor fuel in country area,s if you wanna be fussy.

It is the knock sensor that will allow most of the kw's to be unleashed. Without it then it's just a waste of time.

you really wont feel much of a difference with the 185 memcal, get a cam and some roller rockers instead.

The knock sensor is used to detect detonation (pinging) and allows the ECU to advance the timing much closer to the point of knocking than the safety margins allowed in the standard program.
