Correct,
The reduced airflow % will lead to a lower "engine load" demand in the ecu's timing tables.
So instead of grabbing the top load row of timing values, say 11 degrees, the ecu thinks it is at 65% load and grabs 20 degrees, which will lead to detonation.
That is why it is crutial that your airflow % correction match your fuel needs as close as possible, should be +/- 15% at WOT, idealy.
