If you look at my mileage numbers above you will see that they were better on gas. They also would probably make better low-end torque if that awful mess of an upper intake manifold were to be replaced with a decent aftermarket one and some ITBs.

Some day I intend to build a max-effort 6-port with a custom upper intake manifold. I saved 2 sets of irons to practice with for the porting (filling the top of the aux ports will probably prove to be the most difficult part).
