There is an old question that goes: should you pipe to port, or port to pipe.
A good pipe will usually work pretty good on many engines funny enough.
I don't think I've seen any engines without squish band though. You need to figure out what you intend to do with the engine, if it's still for a 1/8 buggy racing in current regulations, or not. If it's just maximizing engine efficiency in a two stroke there are a lot of ideas out there, but if you intend to use if for current application you wont get an effective package that way.
