Maybe, maybe not...

All depends if the car is knock limited ( makes MBT past knock), or not. Subaru's will often knock and have the power keep rising because the other pistons are still getting good combustion events, and the power generated by the extra timing in those other cylinders is more than enough to make up for the power lost in the knock event cylinder.
