Tuning with jets, Power valves and an O2 guage
Quench can actually have a cooling effect in the chamber.
I have read that. Lots of smart engine builders have said the same thing.
Also, many of them saying this live on the East side of the USA. I am saddled with a max of 91 octane unless I go to a specialty gas station for 100. I wonder how these quench engines run after some carbon buildup from idling, low rpm cruising and many miles of regular use. I may be wrong, but it seems that running so close to the limits of detonation in terms of a tight quench means that detonation may creep in within 10,000 miles and I am back to all of this again.
I am not going to make a decision on this today, but while looking at head gaskets and a compression calculator, I found this:

This Cometic has a 4.50 bore, a .075 thickness and drops my compression to 9.89. If I already have no quench, (Or so little that it is not helping) this gasket would surely make a difference.
