factors i'm considering include
quench. prefer .035-.045 but getting .04 -.05 depending on combination of deck and gasket. .04 quench combo gets my SCR up to 9.6 while .05 quench is only 9.4. factory quench figures to be .056.
i'm dealing with 4VR+Dish style pistons with no d-cup styles available thru this builder. I'm not sure is quench height is affected by dish, seems it would be.
SCR. many combinations of gasket and deck allow me to get 9.35-9.45 and one allows me to get 9.6. every calculator i ran came up with same numbers. want it pump gas friendly above all, low octane/10% ethanol would save me even more.
DCR. oh boy... no two calculators agree. some want ABDC at .05 and some want ABDC advertised. some want ABDC at .05 plus 15. WTH?? i know i want DCR to be between 7.5 and 8.5 with lower being less likely to detonate. what claculator and cam figure to use? what numbers do you get?
Cranking Pressure. new to me. am told between 170 and 180 is good. too high is bad. too low gives up power.
Overall. I want good, reliable power. Primary concern is detonation when I run pump gas of 87-89-91 octane. Help me put this together, please.
