This really isn't an issue for a Diesel engine - since your engine is compressing air only (not an air/fuel mixture, like a gasser) there is nothing to burn and trigger detonation.
As far as your question about "can the engine take it?" Who knows? Maybe it can, maybe it can't... You are TOTALLY at the mercy of the person that designed, built and hopefully tested the chip.
Caveot emptor.
