Compression confusion

[RSX302]

How many people actually run a knock sensor on an aftermarket engine management system? All the factory supercharged (or turbo) engines that I know of use them, and that's how they get away with higher static compression. They will pull timing and/or add fuel automatically at the first hint of detonation.

I was looking at adding one to my Accel DFI Gen 7 system. And should have to the Ford. Most likely would haved saved it from meltdown. Now that I have the LQ9 at 8.6:1 and 10psig-intercooled, I'm expecting to have more than enough safety margin built-in and not needing one. If I was running 10:1, I would definetly add it. But then I would need larger turbos cus that would go beyond the 800-840hp the turbos are good for. I think they will be max'd at the 8.6:1. Or at least I'm hoping.
