Reed cage porting advice please. (pics)

I know I am probably wasting my time or even ruining these cages. I could get a 7 pedal front half but I want to work with what I have if I can. I pretty much centered and traced the CCM reeds and opened the openings trying to match the square reeds versus the factory teardrop shape. I still need to clean them up with a file and lap them but I'm only doing one cage before I seek advice and ruin all six. Motor is a 2.4 200 with 6 steel sleeves. Heads shaved, cut front half, block decked and .030" cut off the top of each piston to match the deck. No exhaust work. Worthwhile to mess with the cages? Thanks, Scott
