Dont let me detonate

How do i avoid detonation.
Its the big killer isnt it?

I was thinking of installing a mixture gauge but is it worth it? Is it easy?
Also i have a Apexi power fc, if i get the handheld thing will this give me any decent information on the engines mixture and other longevity info.

Plan and install your mods carefully after researching them thoroughly - or don't mod at all.

No, that's just the band-aid way to do it. You won't be able to read a/f mixtures and make any proper adjustments with the PFC unless you get a wideband O2 sensor (and datalogit software or something similar). Do some research, all the info you need is in the forum archives.
