Not speaking to the port design, X, J, swirl port, or throwing in the "x" factor of compression, or whatever. Speaking solely to the design and flow of the cylinder head in the chamber, the closed chamber design will not flow as well as an open chamber head.
Yes valve shrouding is an issue. Some days I wish I had a dyno. LOL It would be fun to test some things out.
