Default 03/04 Cobra knock sensor

I know our FI Cobras do not come with knock sensors. I want to run as much timing as possible for my daily driver and was wondering what anyone else has done for this. A system that monitors and retards timing would be ideal, not just an idiot light warning me to either retune or get out of the throttle.

i read an artical stating that ford chose not to put one on the cobra b/c the noise generated by the eaton threw off the readings from the know sensor. also their is only so much timing you can run on 91 octane and running to much can be bad for any engine, especially a boosted engine.
