Poly magazine build

I've never seen flow comparisons, but just as a guess I'm sayin "yeah", simply because of valve placement. By canting the valves, the path for airflow is "straightened out" a lot more then if the valves are side by side, so the potential is certainly there.

I would guess the same. But if the ports are too low or maybe the short turn radius too small (look at me trying to sound like I know something :D), maybe it doesn't translate into a good flow. The article showed raised ports by a significant amount.

Didn't they call this motor a semi-hemi?
