Back to the machine shop...

I would refer you to any number of articles, her is the first one that came up in a Google search (below link).
My experience is that quench is everything on an N/A, pump gas engine, weather it is high compression or not. Quench and squish are extremely important on a wedge head where the spark plug is so far away from the intake valve. It's why Hemi engines can run at least a point higher static C/R on the same octane fuel. Also affects the dynamic compression ratio based on cam timing, and the cam I am going to run creates very high dynamic pressures above 3,000 RPM, so taking all the precautions I can.

Stop reading magazines where the author is just repeating crap he was told.

A Hemi does NOT have quench. Does NOT.

All I'm saying is don't curdle your milk fighting for quench. Get the CR where you want it, and work on your tune up.

Also, see my above post.
