I'm using one of the online calculators so who knows how close it really is. Either way i'll need hi test. If this stuff was easy,it wouldn't be fun. Thank you gentlemen
You will be more detonation resistant @ .040 than bigger quench even though the DCR number is over 8.5. Best option is going with a Lunati 262 cam, http://www.lunatipower.com/Product.aspx?id=2324&gid=287 If you can afford it you can add noticeable power across the board with no loss in streetability with this:http://www.lunatipower.com/Product.aspx?id=4576&gid=289 Either will work great with your compression ratio, gears and stock 2000 RPM convertor.

I went with the lunati 262 cam for this exact reason. It allowed me to use flat tops with 64 CC iron heads and a .37 quench.
