You should have bought a new race block instead of the girdle and steel caps work twocents shruggy
Good luck luck

Quench Cut - Chamber Softening - Nitrous Friendly Chamber

Creating this shape on the surface of the head changes the way the flame front travels throughout the cylinder by slowing down how fast the flame travels. This allows for a wider tuning window in boosted & nitrous combinations when it comes to timing.

Softening the chamber is going to typically yield more quench volume and a less timing sensitive chamber, correct? If he has an IS plate, I would ask Steve what he thinks before you button the motor up.

Yes. The tight quench everyone wants for a NA combination will yield a timing sensitive/narrow tuning window in a nitrous or boosted application.
