To boost or not to boost...

That is the question.
Does putting a couple of boost ports help or hinder torque?
I like the idea that they help lubricate and cool the little end and piston crown but does that mean it helps overal hp and not torque?
Also, increasing flow into the crank via an extra port, enlarging the tranfers at the feed end, help or hinder torque?
Is anyone likey to give out a few tuning tips they know actually work or is it like the masons? (Or indeed a hit and miss affair?)
The only reason I ask is that I'm by no means well off and the few barrels I have need to work and not be scrap.
