I agree with BradH and AndyF (good company to keep) and have one thing to add: Most of the discussion of "will it knock" or "does it knock" are based on hearing the knocking.

At higher engine speeds at wide open throttle the engine is making so much noise that one cannot discern the knock. If we were to use knock sensors as the only method to tell whether or not the engine was knocking, people might have a completely different understanding of how and why and when knock occurs.

Over the years there have been several posts with pictures of destroyed parts with the evidence from bearing markings clearly pointing to detonation as the cause. Yet, the empirical data is reported as "the engine wasn't knocking". That's because with a big cam below the torque peak enough cylinder pressure bled off to avoid knock. After the torque peak when ram tuning starts to have an effect, knock occurs but isn't noticed.
