I’ve seen some very tight golf balling of front straps of 1911’s by a well known gun smith, but I have always wondered it one were too golf ball nearly all the pendulum of a Tunnel Ram/Rat Roaster/STR up too about 1/4in where the port entry is, if that wouldn’t aid port velocity and enhance the fuels atomization and distribution?

No. The principle is the same as "vortex generators", the point being to keep airflow against the surfaces - ideally making use of the full port volume, not decreasing it.


The way I see it....
I can see it helping to grab and turn it though over the short side but that theory didn't work for me when I tried it once.

This may not be related at all but I thought of this thread when a saw a rule change today for NHRA Pro Stock engines:

"Surface of plenum area must remain smooth"

NHRA always a party pooper. Making rules where no rules were needed. Make a basic framework of rules, and then let then inovate.
