The trick is to get the quench height correct, not so much the zero deck part. You can have the pistons 0.015 down and use a 0.026 gasket or have them 0.005 down and use a .036 gasket.
Ok I understand it now better. So I'm running Aluminum heads and you stated before you like the pistons .005 in the hole with a 0.036 gasket? So does anybody really what the best quench height is or is it just a guessing game? In those builds where they really were getting good hp and torque numbers they never really said what gaskets and so forth but it was just a zero deck build. I want to run an engle k58/k60-110lsa hydraulic cam but I'm still lost with carb set up. I think those people used a 950 hp holley but do I really need one that big? Whatever I use I want to run an electric choke.
