  Rick:
  
  Thanks for clarifying all the "xxx-ignition" types.  I know there are
  many, and not all are known by me.  Not even close. And then there is
  cycle to cycle variability and other additional complexities.  This
  combustion stuff is complicated.
  
  I would love to attend a combustion seminar.  Maybe next time they are
  in Western Australia.
  
  I agree: cool is good when making lots of horsepower.  A constant flow
  of gin and tonics over the cylinder heads can probably allow an
  additional 5 inches of manifold pressure, depending on the gin to tonic
  ratio. I have a curve somewhere in one of my books, GPH of anti
  detonation fluid (gin and tonic that is) vs. inches of mercury....
