Thank you all for the input. At this point I have started the porting. I have removed the majority of the cloverleafs and I and going to cut back the two dividers like Wilson did in Andy's intake. I will not be extending them due to the fact that I cannot Aluminum weld and do not really have the budget to have someone else do it. Unfortunately, my comparison will not be real scientific. based on a completely different engine combination. But like my late dad used to say "God hates a coward!" So I am letting the chips fly!!!!!! What is the worst thing that can happen? I screw up a perfectly good intake! LOL!

Also I would post pictures but launching the space shuttle remotely from my phone is easier than posting picks on this site.
