[Diy_efi] Rich detonation?

[Mike]

In all your travels on this subject did you ever come across
a graph which shows the relationship of burn speed to mixture
which hopefully includes some real number ?

Combustion Kinematics supports the "richer = faster combustion" theory.  To my surprise, there is a rich limit.  I have my degree in this stuff and I, honestly, don't fully understand why that max velocity exists.
