You'd be able to generate more power if you weren't limited by the knock threshold though, you could invariably run more boost and ign timing and therefore more power... Almost any FI engine won't be running at it's MBT angle.
SI engines will almost always be limited by knock - CI engines you've just got to make them stay together. Tis why Banks engineering have near enough given up with development on turbo/blown V8s etc on the basis they know that every time, they'll run into knock.
