I think the duration will be somewhere in the 230-240 range. What is the thinnest head gasket i can use if I zero deck? Shouldn't I keep at least .040 for piston to head clearance? I've heard of people going lower than this to maximize the quench area. I've also heard that the quench is sometimes more helpful than compression, but will it help even if the compression is low? In other words, can you have a very effective quench area even though your chamber size is big? Quench is always going to be there as long as you get the pistons close to the heads, right? I could be wrong in this matter. Also won't it help that its bored.060. over? That will increase compression too?
