quench vs no quench?

Here is a good one that references Mopar.

So I read until he said once quench goes past .060 you will get devastating detonation, then I quit.

So all that matter is quench? Spark plug location is just as important as quench. Think about it. The conventional 23* chevy head needed at a MINIMUM 40* timing total (the 400's need up to 46) with it's close quench, closed chamber head.

Yet the 340, with is non quench (what a misnomer) head only needed 35* total, and was no where near as detonation prone as the Chevy.

Damn people, ever get into the real world? To the OP, get your quench to .080 or less and the compression ratio correct (to match cam and fuel) and R-E-L-A-X. You won't find 5 HP or 1* less timing if you put the quench at .035.


Geeze already.
