This strikes me as Odd...

I have been posting about the fact that my injectors seem to make noise and the car seems to have a slight knock (possibly from a loose knock sensor which I'm going to check). But since the car started making the knocking sound, I've lost substantial power. I used to be able to mash the gas and get the tires to spin, but now it doesn't. Can the knock sensor be the source of my problems? (Yes the knock sensor is for a 350 Camaro, but I broke the little clip thing so it might be rattling loose)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, if the injectors are making noise, that means they're bad right? And if they're bad, then fuel won't make it thru as well, resulting in loss of power?

I may be wrong though.

Also, check out the mid atl board for a huge 3rd gen meet I'm planning, would love to see that car there.

The injectors should be fine because I did just replace them too with the higher flowing injectors.. I'll check that out though, maybe I'm having a problem with either them or the pressure regulator.
I'd love to attend the third gen gathering.. Unfortunately my car isn't the as nice as the pictures I show. It WAS, but then some damn drunk person felt the need last year to smash their fist into my hood and that left a nice little dent, and my ground effects need to be repainted, due to my transmission slaming into gear when I was turning a corner and sending my car sideways barely missing hitting the curb by just taking some paint of the GFX.. could have been worse. So unless you want a thirdgen with it's slight imperfections, I don't know if I'll be attending.

Hey man, all of our cars aren't show quality, in fact there are some rought lookin ones that come sometimes. Don't matter, we all start somewhere, if we were all rich, we'd have show quality cars.

Not too mention, I have a dent on my driver's side fender.

As I said, then I'm in.
I just want everyone to know though, not to get drunk and near my car, because the last run in has made me very over protective..

Perfectly good injecctors will make noise. I can sometimes hear the injectors clicking away from inside the car with the audio turned off. I doubt that injector ticking is affecting the detonation sensor.

Yeah, my Accel's click, and if you put your finger on it you can feel it a little bit.
