This general area. I picked this port as it looks to be the "worst" in terms of the transition into the closing edge.

Also, having usable midrange will help out on those courses where our less than ideal gear ratios show there ugly heads.

So I'd leave the taper. Looking at your ports though it looks like you could stand opening up the ports a bit more near the top/closing edge of the ports. You should have a little more of a bowl shape leading up to the closing edge of the port. I'll grab one of your pics and circle the area in paint in a few mins.
that would be very much appreciated thank you.
