Here's a link to study and a crude hand drawn picture I whipped up (it is exaggerated for illustration but not much). Just going to leave this here and I'm out. J.Rob

Hughes is doing the SSR like that because it's cheaper. It takes less time in the CNC and it's easier to machine.

The only other option is the guy who developed the port is an idiot.

This is a CLASSIC example of how CNC does NOT equal great. Or even good. RAMM is correct, you can't fix that head without welding. But you can probably make it workable. It will never be optimal without welding. That includes the bowl. The bowl is what happens when you use a big valve and you have to have area to feed the valve. If you fill in the back side like you are going to do, you will bring up the low lifts, help a bit in the mid lift and lose at higher lifts. And average port speed will go up, probably to the point of being turbulent.
