All I'm sayin is, quench ain't the end all be all that all the magazines and forum heroes make it out to be. Everybody reads all these articles in these magazines that have sponsors throwin expensive parts at them push. There's your clue. Those editors will say anything their sponsors want them too.
People go runnin out and spend all kinda money on a quench engine so they can push the boundaries of what pump gas will run on for what? 20 more HP? Ok, let's say everything is a great match and say 50 HP. Then, if they make one tiny mistake guess what? they have a big heavy expensive pile of metal that has to be spiked with race gas.
The bottom line is, you want to be safe on pump gas? Keep static no more than 9:1 and dynamic no more than 7.5.
There's a LOT more at play than "JUST" SCR and DCR. There's load, temperature, humidity, traffic, how good the cooling system is, how many fat women you're haulin around.......all that stuff can make an otherwise pump gas friendly not so pump gas friendly......and at the WORST possible time is when it WILL happen.
This right here is why we keep seein threads like "my engine is runnin hot" over and over and over and over again.
Boundaries are just that. With a 100% street car, they should be adhered to. Want that 9:1 motor to haul butt? Put good heads on it.
