Surely the oem didn't get the manifolds so bad out of the factory that big gains are available?
I'm not going to try to port (changing the shape with a hand grinder imo is a bad idea), but polishing casting imprfections would help airflow. Port matching gasket and manifold conections could help airflow. I don't know about the manifold on the big Cummins motor, but the cast iron exhaust manifold on the isb leaves alot on the table for improvement. Here's a good read.
