Any problem with this setup for procharger?

I am considering going boosted, and was trying to put a setup together with the short block i have. The only thing i am worried about is my quench i know its not optimal, but does it matter with a FI engine?

Bore size:4.03
Stroke:3.48
Head gasket Bore size: 4.120
Head gasket compressed thickness: .046
Combustion chamber cc: 66
Dish piston relief: -6
Deck height: .025

Cr comes out to be 9.3347:1
Anyone see a problem with this setup?

I don't see a problem with it, we have had success with many combination's of heads and pistons. Bob

In theory no. The stroke length is a little odd for a LSx motor. So I assume the motor is not LSx based?

Sometimes well designed plans are implemented poorly with cut corners and 'cheaper' parts. Those setups always have problems even though they looked good on paper.

So what is it about the setup that does not look right? full on details are
Stock crank, forged eagle rods, forged trw pistons, Heavily cnc ported trickflow heads. Is it because of the pistons not having enough dish and me using a larger cc chamber head to compensate for that? I appreciate constructive criticism. Thank you for the help.
