Disconnect knock sensor...bad idea?

Disconnect knock sensor...bad idea?
I talked to Ed Wright and with my mods, he said I won't need a custom chip.
He said to go with his stage 2.
Heres my problem. When he custom tunes, he de-sensitizes the knock sensor so it doesnt think the roller rockers I have are fake "knock".
Since this is not a custom chip, the knock sensor will not be de-sensitized. Can't I just disconnect the knock sensor ? Is the knock sensor responsible for anything else besides listening for knock?
Thank you

don't think i would, but i've never had knock problems. i've read on here of people using a couple of wraps of teflon tape to help.
