Bill,
Sure! for the die hart 'got to have' that additional HP, go for the 6 port
and have a go at getting it - that's experimental.
If you have the talent and the resources to make it work - we all would love
to see a positive outcome!
I'd much rather have a P-Port and the simpler porting.
I'm P-P'ing the single with RX 8 rotor - for that very reason.

The two extra ports get you 40 extra HP with no additional
weight.
This is a 20% increase in HP for the trouble of building two more
runners on the intake.
The top speed for an RV-7 with 247 HP could be 240 MPH, perhaps
even more with a skinny cowling. (I realize this is beyond the 230 mph
Vne,
but I was just making a point.....)
Regardless, it's fun just to think about a 75% cruise speed of
213
mph.
