Bill,
Sure! for the die hart 'got to have' that additional HP, go for the 6 port
and have a go at getting it - that's experimental.
If you have the talent and the resources to make it work - we all would love
to see a positive outcome!

I'd much rather have a P-Port and the simpler porting.
I'm P-P'ing the single with RX 8 rotor - for that very reason.
