Engine theory and flame travel
This question pretty much pertains to all engines.
If I'm shooting for a little lower compression ratio on a blown 454, would it be more to my advantage to use a flat top cylinder with a larger cc head, or use a smaller cc head and a dish piston. How does it affect the flame travel and performance of the motor.
What are the pros and cons of each method.
I could also post this in the forced induction board if that would help.
Thanks
Nate
