ECU with knock control

[Evoluzione]

Sorry for the basic questions, i'm an engine guy, not an ECU person!

I'd like to be able to run high CR to build a powerful turbo road car engine which has a modern feel and easy to drive. I'm thinking of getting an ECU with Knock control to help. Is it asking too much for the ECU to save the engine from destroying itself when such conditions arise? I mean as a road car, you are very rarely going to use (say) 400bhp regularly and constantly for 1/2 an hr at a time on the hottest day of the year after you've mistakenly filled it with 5yr old 95 Ron from Tesco, but...

I'm guessing it's down to how advanced the system is, but how will I know? It's quite new and the KC is described as having "2xDSP Knock inputs with programmable gain" and individual cylinder knock control.
More info is probably available If I ask.

The guy who does my mapping is familiar with the ECU range, but hasn't done one of these yet, although he says there shouldn't be any issues.

Just wondered what you thought really.

Thanks for your replies, especially the Midget for his valuable insight.
Taking onboard what you and others have said I asked the makers of the ECU how long they thought it would take to set it up, they thought about a day (Dynos are about £100ph) so it's on the back burner for now!
