(sorry Allan
) Thought I was in the Mustang forum I guess
OK, the image above does have detailed cam specs on my exact cam (F14-112)
Now I need to find the best (read easiest
) DCR calculator.I'm running stock pistons, rods etc and 62cc heads. Gaskets will be .054", .045" or .040" depending P to V.
I know a few weeks ago I was rading all about calculating DCR, but now search only brings up a couple of posts. I have the calculator from the advanced tech section, but need to convert .050 nnumbers to .006

Thank you Patrick.
Edit: that's an f13, you don't happen to have the numbers for the f14? I know they are close, but I thought they were different lobe designs???

F-14 ****?
throw in a .054" gasket and the DCR drops to 8.32, but quench is .047"
I wonder how that will do on 91 octane pump gas???
I need to check the numbers and run it again later.
You can make more power with less knock on 91 octane with a .032" quench and higher SCR/DCR, than a .047" quench. Been proven too many times to ignore. Quench is your friend. Compression is your friend. In your case, I would recommend a .040" gasket. You will be even more knock resistant than with the .045" gasket (even though your SCR goes up).
