As I said in original post I'm not a tuner , however I think its unlikley that it would cause engine damage , the ECU manages knock in a couple of different ways. When the ECU manages knock it tends to pull way more timing than necessary. By removing about half the timing the ecu would remove you can stop or eliminate the knock. The ECU also tends to remove timing over the entire RPM/LOAD range (IAM Drop) even if the knock is just in the 2000-3000 rpm range . Even with the adjusted ROM the ECU is still able to manage knock in its usual way so if you put 95 in it it would still drop IAM and manage knock.
