The switch on the knock sensor? I leave the knock sensor on day to day, but if I'm running it hard (or going to) I turn the sensor off. I find that it retards the timing excessively, and starts to do it at the incipient knock point. (TPI cars were notorious for detonation, and I think they went a little too conservative with the sensor). It drives me nuts when it backs the timing off to the point that I don't have the power I need (or want).
