It makes no sense because for one a windowed piston will still run even in a piston port setup as you say if you know wtf your doing! And a non windowed piston will run like s**t (very lean) with an intake reed, the only way to get around the window being needed is to have boost port (or port's) or a trench and since these don't have boost ports the trench is the only option, though the trench will eat rings and pistons quickly. Dude I've been doing over 50 with these engines for twenty years this coming spring (March) and 53 with a stock setup, over 70 with my modified piston port setup, porting is not just hogging out or widening a port it's about knowing what timings work with what setups and why! As I said there are three setups that use three different timings/durations and if you think that there is no difference between them FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE than maybe you need more experience.Not sure how it makes no sense?
If you have a windowed piston than the engine is not going to run without an intake reed.
You don't need a windowed piston to make a reed run at peak... doesn't matter if it's a case reed or intake reed, it only matters if you know WTF you're doing when you port it so you can port it accordingly.
I think you need to read more carefully and assume less!
As for the reeds being crap comment, I'll agree. The only one I've ever found to be worth a damn is the CDH OZ reed. I use one with a 21mm stub and a Dellorto SHA16.16, and my buddy has one with a 18mm stub and a Dellorto SHA15.15... both builds have been peak tested at over 55mph
