Flame Speed and timing

If one to increase the flame speed during combustion by inducing Hydrogen through the intake. Should the timing be retarded or advance?

Injection

Don't know. Moved my air intake to behind the seat, methane injected. Timing is important.

Retarded to avoid detonation.

None of the Hydrogen is stored on the bike. It is created while the bike is powered up. I'll try retarding it and see.

There is a guy here at work that runs his car on hydrogen.I have heard about it but never seen it.He made his generator out of a gallon glass jar.He hits the switch it bubbles like crazy.Doubles his mileage with just a small one.There has been some minor issues.He is thinking about putting something like it on his iron head.
