Lou, any percieved benefits on 'partially' blocking of the boost port with a 'V' shaped piece of wood?

This shape should increase the velocity of the gas as it rises towards the head due to a narrowing of the passage the further the gas travels.

Has been suggested before as a 'Fox 35' burp fix before this and I have always thought that (here) restricting a design was better than denying it completely. So here perhaps a narrowing of all the arteries may work better with all the ports since the engine was designed the work best in its original form with all three transfer ports working in concert, so maybe the boost port (even in a lesser form) is essential to it?

I mean if you purpose built that engine from the start as a diesel you would in fact simply reduce all the ports down in size, rather than just block one off completely, as the this is the theoretically correct way to do it.
Thoughts?

Cheers.
