Removing the Quench zone (as you guys call it, the "squish area") allows for easier sweep through cycle. Yes, alot of drag racers fuck with that area of the head. BUT, they also do alot more than just remove the quench zone (they also add material to divorce the valves). If you ever go to the funny car or rai lcar races, you will see, that they always hide the heads or cover them with towels. They are quite secret and make a huge difference in the way a car performs, yes, maybe its only an extra 60 hp on a 3,000 hp motor... but ... wouldn't that still be "an edge"? (rhetorical)
My KAT s14 is a drift car. It has the quench zones removed. (it also has 10.14 : 1 compression YIKES!!!)... it works just fine!
either way, nice build
