For sure you have more power if you shorten and divide intake mainfold to the same number as cylinders. But on the other hand if your intake mainfold is long you'll see the gain in torque moved to the lower engine speeds. So you'll loose something and win another. That's why nowadays cars are often equipped with variable intake mainfolds to keep torque as close to the bottom as possible and gain power in high revs.
But interesting idea and I like your way of thinking ;-)
