All you need to do is play a little with ignition timing. Air / fuel ratio comes second but the factor that you can easily change is timing. Maybe a little retard timing would help as system is being pre-Ignited. So the delay would prevent it.

Detonation is affected by many things including timing, compression ratio (or boost), RPMs,

when at high loads and low RPMsWater methanol injection can drastically reduce detonation by cooling the chamber as well as adding octane.
