it's called 'playing with other people's money'. some are willing to, others aren't. you can always pull timing to make the knock go away, but what are the egt's? there are so, so many reasons why this isn't a good idea lol.
i've run my own car up to ~18.5psi (2.2 bar absolute) on 93 without knock. no way in hell i'd do that to a customer car without an egt probe, or even to my own for any extended period of time. felt good though! most irresponsible things do lol.
