The big problem remains. How do you program it by trial
and error without destroying a couple of engines?

Yep, getting a good read on what detonation "sounds" like is the big rub.
Got too many irons in the fire right now to do this myself.  If anyone wants
to tackle that job, I'll be happy to put an input on the EC2 which will
retard the ignition (programmable amount) when it goes active.
