As the brains trust says HP is all in the details and the precision. Make sure your engine builder is of the same mind otherwise you will be disappointed in the future. Balancing and squaring are like the foundations of a house - You can always add on later but start with sound foundations and you can do anything you want in the future.
Many don't even calculate their compression math properly. It is the total volume divided by (cc'd combustion chamber volume plus head gasket volume plus deck height volume minus piston pop up volume or -minus valve eyebrow volume or piston dishing
As an example on 351 with 40* pistons and a 60cc combustion chamber... 9.5cc of headgasket volume, 3.36cc of deckheight vol, and 4cc of valve reliefs, ARE significant
Do the math 12:1 or 10.6:1?
