Rotor Beveling as opposed to porting
Any one here running beveled rotor? I just came across this seemingly good mod to the rotors themselves. I can't believe this is the first time I have heard about this.

I'd think the biggest reason for housing porting over a rotor bevel is simplicity. Rotors would have to be rebalanced after cutting away material. I've seen it done in high cost builds, but the average home builder has a tighter budget.

Per your title, a beveled rotor will have an effect only on the opening and closing time of the port, while, more importantly, the goal of porting the housings is to increase the airflow through the port whether or not the actual timing is changed. Beveling the rotor is part of eaking out that last 2-3% hp gain as opposed to the first 95%'
