Your Square port version will not slow down because its almost to big already new from the factory. The Alum. replacement head on the 375/396's will slow down because they are almost like an oval port new in the box and have been "massaged" for the most part. Im sure Ive missed several but these just come to mind right off.. My opinions and they means ZIP. Have a great Holidays Bobby. P.S. Most of the power gain is in the first inch below the valve seat so its not always the size (volume) of the port but the SHAPE.
I'm not so sure that's completely true on the 401 head. With the new "any valve job" rule that does not give a depth specification, there's a lot you can do in that area below the seat. How they intend to account for that in the port volume rule I have no idea.
