To Quench or Not to Quench?

Well you said you were looking for more input on the water meth so here's what I can tell you.

With the higher compression ratio and increased quench, of course you will see a gain in horsepower. Not and incredible increase like say, bigger valves. The biggest gain you will see is in throttle response and your engine will seem very peppy like a playful kitten.

Now once again, just compression bump alone wil help moderately with power. The water methanol injection will give you a one-two punch. Because you will be able to increase compression first off. Secondly, water methanol injection lowers the temperature of the intake charge for obvious reasons and it will also help the motor run cooler becaue of the evaporative action of the water. Here's where water methanol injection alone will build power, what happens to water when it boils? You get high pressure steam! That alone will also give you an increase in horsepower.

This is the snow performance kit I would reccomend for you car. I've heard lots of great reviews on snow. http://www.snowperformance.net/stage-2-boost-cooler-muscle-car-n-a.html

The kit advertises you can use pump gas on a 10:1-14.5:1 CR ratio and I believe that the large coverage there is due to cam selection. Stock cams will detonate with this kit closer to 10:1 and wild one will be covered closer to 14.5:1.

Have you chosen a camshaft yet? The whole pump gas / water meth BS we are throwing around is just that, BS, if we don't have a DCR yet. What I would do if I were you is contact snow, and ask if they know what kind of DCR their kit will cover. If they don't know, find another company with kits that are either universal or specific to N/A carb builds and ask them.

The water methanol kits will help save alot of money on the long run, especially in a street strip car. Premium fuel in my area is a little over $4/gallon. I can't tell you the price of 110 fuel or even where to get it here? What's your prices? Also, keep in mind, higher compression ratios will cause more emissions (like we really give a ****?) and it will also increase fuel economy! Great for street cars! Also too, consider this, if you take a roadtrip in your Valiant to a long distance car show and you don't trailer it, would you really want to worry about finding race grade fuel the whole way there and back?

With the water methanol kits, you have the freedom to fill up with 93 octane fuel (it's everywhere) and go to AutoZoo/ O'reallys?/ and Retard Auto and pick up some windshield wiper fluid to dump in you water meth resevoir and there you go! You're on your way.

I apologize if in the previous thread, I might not have had the nicest tone and I was surprised you asked for my input because of that. I was having a very irritable day.
