Make sure your AFR starts out at the chemically perfect 14.6:1 ratio, make your observations as complete as possible, then add your oxidizer. Note everything that happens from rise in RPM, to the visual condition of the combustion chamber and spark plug upon tear-down.
If you have a way to measure a fixed partial-load power output, then all the better.
I can only share results that I have collected and highly encourage you to collect your own. There's no substitute for learning by doing. Yes you can absorb spoon-fed information, but it's not the same impact, and is often done too selectively.

My small, sacrificial engines are 2 stroke snowmobile engines making 200 horsepower per liter off squeeze, and 250 on the squeeze, honda car engines (stock) and chevy small blocks.
What do you use?
