quench area= on the compression stroke when the piston reaches tdc the a/f mixture is forced into the combustion chamber of the head rather then the whole cilinder. When this happens it squeezes the mixture to the chamber causing it to atomize (sp) more which will make it more combustable and efficent. This is where combustion chamber designs play a big role in engine blueprinting.
