When i used to port out 2 stroke engines, you always wanted to make sure the intake tranfer ports were larger at the base(crankcase) than at the window in the cylinder to avoid a reverse pumping action.

Here is a link for everyone to enjoy:

While these ones on ebay may improve performance, they certainly could be improved.
Velocity stacks aren't required in a FI application, its more benefictial in a NA environment.
