Worse combustion chamber design ever? Saveable?

Soft vs hard


Yes. It's exactly what it looks like and itself

You can tighten the quench as tight as you can or close to zero...or open it up and rid it completely 'see above'...or take some timing out of it. There are important factors to consider on which approach to take.
First place for detonation to play peekaboo is in the quench area, forced and nitrous more. Obviously you approach each differently. So there isn't a one size fits all, and more to consider is the parts package and or 'shortcomings' and 'make dues' to work around/experiment.


A soft chamber and quench are mutually exclusive. You can have both.
