I can back that idea because I know my car is running rich. I have a swapped gsr into a civic. I have to get an aftermarket adjustable fuel pressure regulator so that I can lower my fuel ratio that way I run better and take the risk away of detonating the head. Also, how exactly do you detonate the head? I ran rich tonight racing 4 times and nothing happened. I would suggest to you that you somehow check the fuel pressure and make sure its not off. Also, take your intake off and while reving your motor at around 3 grand, spray carb cleaner into your throttle body. This should help clean carb build up if you have any. That can cause smoke sometimes. I know I have carb build up like a mother because I put new denso spark plugs in, idled the car for 3 minutes and took them back out and they were covered in black crap. I mean the way a very old spark plug looks. Its crazy!
dude you've got it all wrong. running rich will DECREASE the risk of detonation by cooling down the combustion chamber temperatures with excess fuel. running lean will increase it since there will be less fuel to help cool down your CC. detonation is caused by heat and improper ignition timing.
if you're fouling plugs in 3 minutes you've got some serious problems, also.. if that black crap is kind of gummy it means you've got oil leaking into your combustion chamber which would explain the bluish smoke (which you think is because you're running rich)
