Older thread but the topic interested me studying cylinders. I feel the step down is more of a "shelf" for ring support on a downward angled port. Remove it and I'm sure bad things are going to happen. JMO, it's not for performance, tho it could aid. I have no proof it does or does not.
It sure can’t hurt to leave it there when you raise the exhaust a lot. Some guys have blended it on the 7910 cylinders and they free port with as little as .030” off the base.
