NoDOHC will become famous soon enough
Any additional data will be useful - a sample size of 1 is not a very complete indication.

The 4-port making more power than a 6-port is relatively common knowledge, that is why I opted to buy and build a 4-port rather than upgrading my 6-port.

I know a guy who spent several iterations of porting on a 6-port and managed to get 192 WHp on a dynojet out of it at 8,400 rpm. I was impressed until my nearly stock 4-port put down 216 WHp at 7,500 rpm on a Mustang Dyno. If I had done as much to my 4-port as he had to his 6-port it would probably have beat his numbers by quite a bit more. He is now building a 4-port.
