The central dish is the best design piston you can get, bar none. The issue is the wedge cylinder heads offset the valves and plug, so effective quench with a standard central dish is marginal at best. The best design that exploits the effects of squish and quench is an off set dish, or quench dish, which is what the Mopar pistons from everybody look like. With twisted wedge heads, or a centrally located chamber (I believe some of the W and P series small block heads have this) the central dish with the quench band will make more power.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.
