quench vs no quench?

Coronet 500 said

A "quench" engine creates combustion chamber turbulence at TDC which makes more power.

Mr. Mad says you won't find it in 99.9% of engines produced, it's just too hard for OEM to mass produce with that close of tolerances.

That's why performance minded people have been spending the time and money to blueprint their engines to get that gain in power.

My answer to the original poster is YES it would make more power.

Dude, did I say you won't find quench in 99.9% of engines built? Did I say that? Nope. What I said was (go back and check it out...preferably BEFORE you post an error) 99.9% of engines won't find ANY power (guess I should say torque because we all KNOW torque is king :wack:) if you already have .060 quench or less. Just WON'T happen. So don't fret a bunch and spend a big wad of cash trying to tighten up quench if it is already REASONABLE. Can't have the piston .140 down the hole and think that's ok either. You will clean up emissions a bit, but as far as finding power, you are picking the pepper out of the fly poop.


Better luck next time.
