Default Knock sensor wire unhook?

I read that I can unhook a knock sensor wire and get more power? I was wondering what wire I need to unhook and if there is any picture's of it?

the knock sensor is there to detect detonation and retard the spark to protect the engine.

By unplugging it you will allow the engine to put out more during a detonation condition, but it will be doing more damage than you realize.
