It's still trickier to tune a boosted engine with high compression pistons because you can get uneven heat distribution along the piston crown due to the design... hence, the potential for hot spots, and thus more prone to detonation in general... also, one wonders how meaty the OEM ringlands are...

All that said, these motors seem pretty stout, so with a good tune and the right octane it should be fine at this power level...

Actually, has anyone managed to destroy one yet -- is the upper limit known?
