Interesting that the latest Popular HOt Rodding mag for the Jeg's engine shootout suggests using a smallish bore (not too small otherwise you'll get valve shrouding) and to use a short rod as the latter will decrease the dwell time the piston is in its comp. stroke and is less likely to detonate.
I can see the smaller bore, but the short rod seems counter intuative. I mean if you have longer dwell on a quench chamber engine then there is more time to transfer heat OUT of the charge into the combustion chamber.
Did PH explain the reasoning behind the short rod?
