The motor is out right now and it seems that each time it comes apart I end up porting the heads a little more.
I've did a couple of unconventional things to the heads in the past so I really don't mind experimenting on them. The main difference is the shape of the combustion chamber....this was done in attempt to unshroud the valves as much as possible and to eliminate as many hot spots as possible.
After doing this the big concern was how the quench area would respond but there would be no way to know until it was run. I did the exhaust ports and a very minimal amount on the intake side the first time around.
The motor ended up making 450 to the ground on straight 93 octane so I'm willing to spend a little more time in the ports to see what improvement if any can be made.
This is just an experiment so don't do this to your heads because I really don't know what may be the potential down side may be yet.
