Until they generate enough knock to cause the ECU to "learn", and reduce the multiplier instead of just retarding the timing as it does on single instances of knock.
So as long as you drive around without to much demand for high boost/torque, and making knock, the car will feel pepier at partial throttle/boost. If you drive it hard, it will quickly learn not to advance the timing tha far in the first place, and you will be back to "normal" for your altitude/octane.
