Optimum Qench..

[vafatboy]

and how to set it up??

Can a builder help a shade tree (me) mechanic understand how to set up quench, and what would be optimum for 9.8-1 static.

The motor is
95 FT
37b cams
030 gasket.
BigBoyz heads

The heads were cc'd, milled and of course ported. I can probably get the cc of the chambers if needed to set the optimum quench. I'm pretty sure that I would need the deck height to set quench as well.

While doing a little reading it seems that quench is an important step that us home brew builders may be over looking when bolting this stuff together.

Thanks,

This will get you started. And maybe the pros will chime in with more tips...

Springer did a great job on that post. We often take the compression up to 10.5:1 with that quench and that cam with our heads with out issues.

Good post Springer and thanks for the link to that TX. Is 030-035 optimum quench?

It's time to measure deck height to confirm, using 030 head gasket. If deck height +, than this could lead to an engine more prone to detonation, correct?

I did get a tune finally that I thought had rid me of detonation or pre-ignition, but I find that it is still there under certain conditions. I'm thinking if quench is off enough, it'll be harder to tune that out.
