Stopping the knock: Lower compression and ported heads...

If you open the chambers and run thinner gaskets, couldn't you take advantage of both quench and less compression?

FIRST POST ON THIS THREAD...

I'm running the same stroker as you with a 4.15 stroke using closed chamber Indy EZ heads but I had the bowls opened up to 85cc. Flat top pistons .007" in the hole. .040" MLS head gasket. 38 degrees locked timing. Compression is 10.9 to 1 and .047" quench and it makes 750hp on pump gas. I would listen to these guys when they say to lower the head down and open the chamber up some and you will make more power and should not detonate.
