Doesnt make a diff.  I have a low port and made 148 whp before I installed
the S4 cams, mods done were I/H/E/P/91-93 intake cam.  Plus just something
to think about, all the VVL motors are low port, including the SR16VE N1
with 200ps (~197hp) and a redline I believe to be at 8300rpm.

I wont argue that in theory that the highports are a better design, but in
the real world it doesn't and hasn't shown any difference in hp.
