i'm learning that's for sure! but, with the power for these engines coming from what you can do to the head, wouldn't decreasing the combustion chamber size or smoothing the flow be better than leaving it stock and just replacing the valves? from my stand point, increasing flow by porting and polishing and then dropping the cc's will increase power. without the domed pistons or pistons that have eye brows cut, we are basically limited to a flat top. reshaping the combustion chamber to compensate for this will increase power. now, i understnad that there is such a thing as going too low and getting detonation from pressure (deiseling), but am i missing something here?
and i do remember a movie where one actor was describing basically combustion chamber effects....hold a firecracker in your hand and when it goes off, you get burned. hold a firecracker in your fist, and your momma is going to be opening your ketchup bottles for the rest of your life....meaning, more compression produces more power....within reason that is...
so, if you had a 14cc head and your wanting to build a stock appearing motor, what would you do with it? (not hijacking this thread, but NoftzMotorSports is asking the same kind of question!!)[/QUOTE
Yes asking the same thing
