Inputs on a home built 318 for red light to red light fun

Thats putting words in my mouth.
You assume to much on something I never said.
I never said quench is important or not important.
I never said a high stall converter doesn’t create more heat.

Because the advice or tech point you bring up is wrong.

On the flip side, your idea of a streetable car engine is a good one and has good merit. To bad your not paying attention to what the desired outcome of the OE poster wants. (And that’s why your wrong.)

Let me ask you what you would do to build a 318 capable of a solid 12.5 ET - 318 engine for the 1/4 mile?
I'm going to list a combination for a 12.5 ET, but I'll start a thread for it.
