  Pre-ignition, on the other hand, acts just like advancing the timing.  Considering the geometry of the rotary chamber, it's probably far harder on a rotary engine than on a reciprocating piston engine.

   Another trick is to kill the trailing ignition when you run into detonation, it will stop it dead.
  I also have a relay that kills the trailing when I hit the nitrous button and on long hard climb outs I kill the trailing.
