Thanks again Dennis.
Wow, those are cold plugs. I think I'm running BKR7ES plugs at the moment; I'm trying to balance street driving vs "beat on it" driving and the 7's seem to be OK; if I cruise the car lightly they look a little loaded up (even though I have the engine running quite lean at light loads) and if I beat on it then shut it down they look a little on the hot side but not scorching hot. Think I should go a little colder? I am running water injection so that is probably helping my plug choice quite a bit.
Still wishing an ion-sensing knock detection setup was cheaper than $20K or so.
