If you want a 3rd point, there's every possibility (depending on your choice of ECU and the tuner who whacks your car on the dyno for a few days work) that you may need to just simply use a higher octane fuel. This is particularly so with massive V8's running compression ratios of 12 and higher. If you want a car like that for an everyday driver, you better be prepared to pay exclusively for AVgas or C16 racing fuel. Same may apply in my case given the extra little bit of compression I'm throwing into the equation. It's unorthodox, but then again, the whole car is turning out to be a mechanical mutant 3#-) Now back to my MoTeC mapping.
...you are certainly correct about retarding timing, dumping in more fuel, however, forged internals have nothing to do with detonation. Forged internals are purely built for resilience to heat and mechanical stresses that cast components cannot handle.
