Yes, you have control over the settings for the knock sensor, plus every other sensor. If I'm understanding your last question... Yes you can limit the amount of timing the pcm pulls when detecting knock, as well as what the PCM considers the knock threshold, but I would not advise you to do that. If the knock sensor is detecting what Mopar considers knock, it's detonating. Tuning a turbo car up to borderline knock is risky. Running more timing isn't always going to net power gains, you would be better off running more boost and a less aggressive timing curve. When it comes down to it is it worth running 2 more degrees of timing to net 10hp? You have to consider the safety tradeoff.
A question about the J and S system you were referring to. If it detects knock for each cylinder(I assume with 4 sensors) what good is that doing you if you can only control the wastespark coilpack. Or does it include a full ignition system?
