Default Should I even bother fixing this?

Have a check engine light that comes on about 10 mins after I start driving every time that kicks on due to a knock sensor code. The car seems to run quick and hard even still but is this a problem that I should fix or is this handicapping my car? I was told this makes my car run slower, is this true?

96 gsr motor swapped into 95 civic ex (ej) with an obd1 gsr ecu.

My ECU is chipped, but it doesnt bypass the knock sensor, I guess it has a larger fuel map so VTEC kicks harder. So I just need to find someone to take my ecu to and have the knock sensor bypassed?
