The engine timing will be the same unless there is knock. So the colder the intake charge, the more complete the combustion will be and more power will be made. Knock sensors don't come into play unless there is detonation to some degree.. Then timing would be pulled and less power made. It works the same for NA or FI, cold air packs more air in a given space for better combustion which in turn creates more power.

Dyno tests anyone?
You need to read up on end gas detonation. Then you'll understand how knock sensing actually works and you'll agree with me, instead of being wrong.
