low RPM = higher dynamic compression
WOT = higher heat from full air/fuel charge
high load = you stay at the same low RPM & WOT for some time
end result = detonation

Do you disagree?
Hmm... I guess it depends on the limiting factor. In my and similiar applications detonation is usually caused by the fuel rails not being able to flow enough fuel to keep the pressure up for the injector to deliever enough fuel fast enough. That occurs at high RPMs in 500+ rwhp applications.

But for what we are talking about now, that makes sense.
