Most didn't want to hurt them if they could use a run of the mill D-port with a power adder to go faster.

After the aluminum heads were around the round ports were cheaper, but it was easier to port the aluminum heads and make more power than the cast iron heads.
Bigger volume, better porting will usually always make more HP.

How do you know they were faster ? I have not heard of any 1600 HP twin turbo RAIV/HO builds. Now 2 D port versions gone that high.
