I'm not a real dyed in the wool expert, but I just know the answer none the less:
It depends.
There. Does that help?
If all else is equal (intake & transfer areas, intake & transfer timing, crank case volume, etc.), and the intake by itself isn't sufficient for top RPM, then yes, sub-piston induction may help.
In other words, if the engine is optimized for sub-piston induction and they just made the piston taller or the exhaust port bottom higher.
If they rearranged all the timing to match the change in the sub-piston induction, then no, maybe not.
