1) detonation is not the issue.  The thetaPP is not significantly--if at all--advanced during detonation.  The peaks are occurring primarily after the peak.

2) A slight advance of the timing will result in a more rapid increase in the pressure as the piston is still going up.  This speeds up the flame front.

explanation for why a 2 degree timing change might cause a 10 degree
theta-pp change.  That would suggest that flame-front moves faster btdc
than atdc, by a lot.   It would also suggest that the impact of mixture
changes on theta-pp is amplified in a similar way.

Detonation. As detonation starts, the pressure should arrive earlier.
That's a hypothesis anyway. Don't know what was measured or whether the
measurements made would distinguish detonation from surprisingly fast
flame front.
