I don't think so, but pull the cover and have a look for yourself

I go back to my original post which was only partially "tongue in cheek". Anything you can do to improve the movement of air to the combustion chamber will theoretically result in better power. The question becomes is the "extra" power appreciable enough to measure or worth the cost of doing so. Getting more air into the combustion chamber is currently provided by supercharging or turbo charging the air intake.
