What ive found with taking out fro the Geo Dome is you get a few things happen
1 Lower geometric compression = Higher RPM and slichtly less torque
2 Cooler temps from the head
3 Greater turbulence in the cylinder which promotes responce and fuel economy
To what degree of improvements depends on the individual situation. I tried the Multi cut about 4 years ago with a P5 off road engine , I cut about 4 head buttons and each week i gauged their results by swapping out for each race meet. I did this with a standard and turbo button and found the greatest gains from a single notch in a turbo facing the exhaust.. BUT ! i tried a 3 notch in a standard head button.. 1 in the front above the front intake port and 2 on a 45 deg andgle towards the exhaust. I then cut back the head button .2 mm to reduce its standard ratio and took a .2 shim to bring it back.. ..
I was a mennace ! it sounded like a rotary engine lol It created a lot of torque and great top end .. But rear bearings and rods wore very quickly..

I am pretty sure the one scoop is for turbo burn rooms and has to be above the exhaust port

The Sing grooves do something. I did such a mod on the track with a same engine with a before and after mod. Just 3 small grooves gave a more solid shift from 1st to 2nd gear and you do see a coloring over the squish band prooving the small gooves do the steer some mixture into the squishband where the combustion in the small gap will give some power. But you can discuss if the performance comes from changing the total volume of the combustion room by just the 3 grooves and so giving a tiny different ignition timing or is it realy a better spread combustion?
