360 build

I think if it was me I'd drop the compression down and forget quench. Otherwise it's spending a ton of money to verify and machine everything to be dead on to keep the distance right. I think 10.5:1 with those heads wil be harder to do with those pistons. You can get 10.3 easy with zero deck flat tops, a 68cc chamber, and the thin MP head gaskets. Plus no worrys about stroke correction, indexing, milling domes, or equalizing the chamber depths to get some quench with your 10.5:1. Also, the cam is a decent size for a hydraulic, but not huge. Is it a fast rate deal that is supposed to build pressure? I am concerned that any higher than 10:1 is flirting with ping issues with those heads and the 3.58 stroke. I could probably tune out at 10.3. Might be a lot harder at 10.5:1.

Its a comp cam # 20-229-4
The machine shop that I'm using has very reasonable prices and doing the quench deal I realize that it will likely have to go back there a few times to get things right but with a tight quench I was told it should help detenation issues. Its still going to be a lot cheaper than the stroker I'm eventually planning on building (360-1 top end kit and likely an aftermarket block with a k1 crank). As always I appreciate your input and knowledge.
