You don't know if it's an improvement or not yet, don't get ahead of yourself there kitten

In this instance you should. "Hey everyone, look what I did, it should make an improvement."
Go read about Paul Yaw's experience port-matching a 12A intake mani then we'll talk.
I'll save you the time and give you the cliffs notes. Paul flow tested a 12A intake mani. Then he port matched it. Then he flow tested it. He found that he actually LOST CFM. So he tossed the mani off to the side and ran a stocker.
Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups
I spent close to $500 on an ignition system over the winter. you can bet your ass I'm going to test them against the $260 system I have sitting in my basement. If you're not testing, you're guessing. Ass dyno's don't count. How many times have we heard, oh snap, I put this CDI box on and my car pulls great and idles awesome.
Fine, what they fail to mention is they also added new plugs, wires, reset the TPS, new air filter etc etc etc. Back to back testing or I don't care. No one else should either.
Like I said, I like the idea, but you never know unless you get good numbers. What does a few pulls on the dyno cost? Pocket change for definitive answers.

Soooooo if you're car feels faster even if it's actually slower you're happy with that?

At the track for emergencies sure. I've never heard of a pro team building an intake mani with JB weld.
