Combustion chamber shapes

Has anyone tried different combustion chamber shapes without altering compression to see how the power curve was affected? Most of the interchangeable domes I see advertised are very similar to the original factory shape. From what I have read about the most recent two stroke 125 and 250cc GP engines (early 2000's), they favored a shallow, flat roof (or torroidal roof if you ran a Honda), with the sides ending about parallel with the stroke and squish bands about 50% of bore with tightest possible squish following the piston dome and running sharp edges at the squish/combustion chamber interface.

Has anyone ever seen anything or tried something like that for a Banshee?

Might be worth a bit of power?

Cont really get much better then a hemiphrical dome shape. It doesn't have valves, so you're not worried about flow.

 

If you have tight spots and open spots you'll have a higher change for incomplete combustion and IMO a greater chance for pre-ignition from hot spots.

 

The piston is domed, so you'd want a domes combution chamber.
