Good Quench Article

I know this subject has been beat to death at times, but since I found a cylinder head that has quench possibilities for a slant six, I thought I'd do some reading. This is among the best articles I found. Thought it was a goodun.

Quench: Unlocking Performance Squished Between the Piston and Head

Agree with all of it except the hemi part . The sides of the hemi piston is where the quench is at , not the bottom of the piston .
And on a superstock hemi , we couldn`t go above 36 degrees very far w/o killing power . I had jacked around with it at the dragstrip , went up to 42 and slowed it down about 2-3 tenths . Was A 10.25 (SUPOSEDLY) engine w. a 785 lift cam dynamics cam in it , worked pretty darn good .
The pistons just kept the carbo cleaned off at 7000 rpm, Tom Hoover told me it was just right , as long as it didn`t break anything, ran for more or less 10 yrs like that .
