I believe that Simon is correct that a little low speed pinging is more
efficient than no knock. He is also correct that you usually can't here
detonation under full throttle. I appreciate his and all other comments /
corrections / clarifications. Like I said, I am doing this all from memory
since I consider reading old college texts worse torture than watching
"Clueless" on TV. If I am incomplet or just flat-ass wrong, please feel
free to speak up. I have a wife and two daughters so I am used to being
told that I am wrong!
