I've contemplated going back to a stock dual mass as the gear rattle is beyond annoying on the big cam cars and having a bit heavier flywheel is better for driving on the street

especially with stock gears.

I do like the way the old LSV winds up when provoked with it though!
To answer my own question, I would be surprised if it did set off KR. The filters for the sensor are pretty specific ie sensor from an L98 won't work on LT-5. I have done scans of my motor with the Fidanza and any knock detection only shows up at start-up. Other than that, I don't see any knock I could attribute to the trans. Decel, accel, cruise does not show anything. I might get a brief period of knock, mainly on decel at lower rpm so it really is inconsequential. But other than hot idle, I don't get any gear rattle at cruise or when clutch is engaged.
