Just reading through some books and found some interesting stuff in the Bill Grumpy Jenkins book about tunning the quench area on the SBC head. Ive always heard and believed that you should leave it alone and leave the ledge sharp.
But In Bills book he outlines some mods that he does. One was to radius the ledge on the exhaust side to help with swirl and exhaust flow.
Would something like this also help in eliminating detonation on a street motor. Im planning a 400 build to run on cheap pump gas with a HP goal of 475 on the motor(86 octane) and am looking for all the little tricks i can find to do so. Thanks.
