Since my GT doesn't have knock sensors, and before I put the KB on, I was thinking about adding some. However I heard the ECU needs to be changed. Would it be possible to use a Cobra ECU? Or is it not even worth the hassle?
Not worth the hassle. Knock sensors are more of a burden than they are worth. Just make sure you get a good dyno tune after installing the blower and you should be fine. Knock sensors have been known to activate pre-maturely due to outside vibration not related to the actual engine performance.

'03 -04 Cobras and '99 and up Lightnings don't have knock sensors because theblowers make too much noise that's hard to filter out. I ditto the last response, get a good wideband and watch A/F and listen for detonation.

I have been using MSD knock alert for sometime on my 02 GT. Visual and sound alert. Light goes from light green to red depending on the amount of knock.
