that would affect it so much , somewhere around .21 gain in compression

not as dramatic as you are making it sound

The quench depends on the material in the block... iron and Al have different quench needs.

I know it's 2 strokes and all, but there is some good infor regarding quench here:

I believe it is closer to .30 but my point is there is going to need to be some adjustments made to lower the compression for a street car and most definitely on a forced induction so why shoot your self in the foot and start with a piston .008 out of the hole. I am pretty sure that is what the piston manufacture was thinking.
