My 1500's 7.5:1 compression ratio will help with that problem. Proper mapping of the air fuel ratio and spark timing in the engine management system, along with a knock sensor ought to address knock.

You are partially correct that the distance to the collector will affect the readings. It will take longer for the O2 sensor to reach it's operating temperature, but once hot enough, readings will b
