Going to theorize.

If quench is just basically a matter of mixing the air and gas and moving it all around evenly on top of the cylinder before combustion to promote even combustion (thereby eliminating hot spots, or spots more prone to detonation) then it wouldn't matter with a blower. Blowers mix the air and gas and move the air all around in the cylinder before the 'quench' happens. (Pushing the air in, rather than drawing it in) So with blower motors, there should be practically no hot spots.

With the same line of reasoning, on FI cars, expecially those of a relly good design like the LS engines, it shouldn't matter as much because the fuel and air would be mixed better than in a carb app. Not saying it's the same as a blower motor, just better than carb motors.
