The Storm cannot do the 951 triggering IIRC - something to think about if you're shopping for a 951!

Duke, Why not? My G3 does it with no problem.

I thought the G4 Storm would not get all the different triggering features, much like the regular G3 did not before. It was just the G3 Plus that had the 951-triggering.
But I might be wrong about that, maybe all versions have the same trigger-options now with the G4.

Duke,

Yes, the g3 and g3+ all use the G4 software. They all use 944/944t, 132 tooth triggering and factory ref sensors.. I use the standard G3 and it runs the factory triggers. I now run the G4 software and it works fine. Thats the beauty of this system, constant free upgrades and factory triggering.

So if you get a storm and does the knock block integrate? Or does it work separately?

The storm has a 0-5volt input for knock. The "knock block" is a standalone device. You plug the "knock block" into the storm.

The "knock block" can be used as a complete standalone without anything else. You install a second knock sensor and plug it in. It puts out a 0-5volt signal and also an audible tone that you can hear with headphones. Its great for tuning and logging/monitoring.

Yes the Knock Block is great. I thought about getting the J&S Safeguard but the Knock Block is much better suited.

Well it doesnt count anything itself. It outputs a 0-5V signal to my MegaSquirt which then handles all the timing retarding and stuff however I configure it to. So yes theres a count, but through the MS log.

So have you seen many counts happening to draw any conclusions?

Hmm, I've seen many cases of Moronity lately. If you're making a point to them all it will keep you busy.
