There's a technique with braking whilst accelerating for a short period to generate enough load to effectively bump up the IAM. But yes, repeatability of runs and then monitor ignition advance and knock learned values. If there's any obvious reduction in timing then you know that something is up. I wouldn't be massively concerned about it happening when testing, the knock strategy is there for a reason. You don't want a car that is knocking lots over a long period of time but if you can peg down what's happening and then rectify it then you should be good.

Depends on the map/tuner.
