Does anyone have measured gains with just those mods?
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.
