Are these swirl ports?

True, if the RPM and the air speed is very slow. It takes an awful lot of energy to make the charge swirl. I'm talking about power improvements from idle to maybe 2200 RPM. After that, they are pretty much a loser. The biggest "trick" was the trick flow ports. I made a mint fixing those.

I agree 100%. Swirl and quench are two attributes that get people all worked up and actually mean very little.
