How about exhaust port shape?
I've heard that it plays a role in power delivery...
In my mind a port with a flat roof would cause a sharp pressure spike in the expansion chamber, and might make the powerband stronger but more peaky...Is that about right/
And also the intake port; I've noticed some builders make the top of the intake port not flat and angle upwards toward the divider...Would that produce a similar effect by smoothing out the power and maybe giving you a better rpm range?
