Banned. I got OWNED!!!
Because the engines use 30% more fuel in light load low rev situations, they idle around 1200 to 1500rpm (can be made to idle lower, but very hard) and they in general loose a bit of power compared to a street port at revs below 3000rpm.
If you can handle the noise and these other minor points then go the port, if not then go a street port.
Depends on what you are like and what your situation is.
