My small chamber W8 468 CID nitrous combo had huge compression. We installed a dish piston with. Lost so much compression the engine was down on power. Then installed a.032 head gasket and power came back and the rings ran cooler.

My 421 with same heads and flat tops was also high on compression. It made great power over a broad range.

My Durango RT needed a rebuild. I cut a bunch off the block to develop quench as this thing detonated terrible. Raised compression at least a half a point. Well it spark knocks more now. So win some loose some.

Race engines like quench. Nitrous engines love it even more. In my experience. But, the Durango said I was full of crap.

So who knows. Two out of Three I will build quench in future builds.
