Engine Gurus Come In - SCR, quench, pump gas question
ok, here's the deal. i'm building a 416 and i have some decision-making to do regarding establishing the deck height/selection of head gasket.
one possible scenario:
-.05 deck + .040 gasket = .035 quench = 11.71:1 scr
at the other end of the spectrum:
0 deck + .051 gasket = .051 quench = 11.27:1 scr
of course there are numerous other possibilities in between.
i want to strike a compromise between optimum quench and running comfortably on 93 octane pump gas.
suggestions?
P.S. - I haven't had any block machining done yet.
