I very much agree with this. I would really like to dyno test the same head ported 2 different ways. One would be focusing on mid lift flow with a moderate crash or stall at 0.600 lift. Next would be the same port with the short turn worked a little more to eliminate the crash or stall. Port 2 would have the prettier curve and a higher peak. Port 1 would have more 0.350-0.550 lift. My money would be on port 1 for the very reason you suggested. If we do a good job getting air in early the depression is not 28 inches at max lift. So in the running engine does the flow really crash?
I know you like the 50 degree seats and I’m not arguing that. I’d like to test that as well. On the flow bench the 45 degree seats naturally create a good port number 1. 50 degree seats naturally make a port number 2. The mix and match game would be fun.
