[Diy_efi] Rich detonation?

[Becker, Damon Damon]

I wish.  I'm sorry.  All the stuff I have seen are in hard form, and were dated back to WWII, when they experimented with stuff like turbosupercharging and water injection for airplane engines.

	All the research I have seen shows variations in flame
	front expansion under various conditions; some rough
	parameters came from that research regarding
	detonation, but it was old research.
	
	I would be very interested in seeing anything from the
	1960s and later in the way of SAE or other
	"journal"-level research on the matter of flame front
	propagation, particularly with regard to mixture
	homogeneity and composition.  Can you point me toward
	some SAE docs or the like?
