** NEW ** Trick Flow LA cylinder heads introduced at SEMA

Some guys get a little to carried away with stuff they read in books (quench) and say that's the only way of going about something. I had the 340 open chambered Edelbrock heads on my 408, flat-top pistons, a deck that was never touched, and a 1008 Felpro gasket and even after the bore was shot from 3 rebuilds and in need of its fourth it ran 9.70's in my Duster and 10.08 in my Sons Duster in Summer heat at Keystone Raceway Park, Pa at 3200 pounds.

It's not the only way to do it but quench flat out works on a street engine real well by allowing you to run higher compression and pump gas. My 408 iron headed (EQ's) is 10.03 to 1 and has no problem running on 92 octane. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm guessing that in your race car you had a bunch of compression and probably ran race gas thus quench wasn't a big deal with your combo
