Default Recommended detonation management for supercharged engine?

What would you recommend for detonation prevention on a ZZ4 350 with a Weiand 142 SC? Brands and models would be great.

Thanks.

You can look up online non intercooled boost pressure and static compression ratio. those tiny blowers don't put out much in the way of boost. You can add a timing boost activated retard box. You can add a methanol/ distilled water injection unit. I've worked on those using 10.2 C/R and it's not a big deal

I've got a Snow Performance system on my twin turbo/non-intercooled big block. Works very well.

I've have the MSD 6AL-2 ign box that also has a MAP sensor for timing retard. T

I met a guy at a car show that did the methanol injection and he said it made a huge difference
