You are right I would love to be doing what you do even without getting paid.....the thing is that there are always constraints which limits free thinking and potential areas of experimentation.
For those that haven't had a hand at porting, let it be, as more than likely you will end with something worse than what you started. Bigger and smoother are not always the means to the end.
Even with a flow bench (yoimprove and balance flows) you still have to take into consideration the planned use for the engine.
An engne is basically an air pump and the rate of air in and air out define the eficiency. Then add fuel and a spark which will then provide power and things get a bit complicated as you then have to maintain certain speeds in and out of the chamber, time the ignition, have good turbulence to promote A/F ratio mixing and then light the mixture at the time that will allow you the maximum amount of power allowed by the cylinder head and piston design.
IC science is fascinating and simple mods can yield great returns, but can also send you back to square one. Sorry, but I need to go into my dark room to experiment some more.....
