Even if it can be achieved and verified, how long is the motor holding together as torque levels climb past mechanical tolerances? You can crack a ringland if combustion pressures get high enough, even without evidence of autoignition/knock events.
Ill admit that the more power your making, in every revolution, the motor weakens. Rods, pistons, rings, everything.

However, you can make that power with less chance of it letting go due to predet. Also you can stretch out the lifetime of that motor if you are running less boost by using more timing, which is safer to do with E.
