Free horsepower

An old trick is to "port-match" the manifold to the cylinder head. If you look at the cylinder head mounting surface of the manifold and compare its ports to that of the intake manifold gasket, you'll invariably see that the ports in the gasket are slightly bigger than the ports in the manifold or the head. Remove your intake manifold and mount it in a vise with the ports facing up. Clamp a new gasket on the manifold, with the gasket perfectly aligned over the mounting bolt holes. Now scribe a line inside the gasket ports onto the manifold.
Take the gasket off and use a small electric or air-powered die grinder to grind out the manifold ports to the scribed line. Take your time and don't go beyond the scribed line or you could hinder the gasket's job of making a good seal. Try to gently blend the new port size back up into the ports on the manifold as far you can, to improve the transition for the incoming air. Ideally, the cilynder head should be treated similarly to match the gasket, but you can wait until you have some other reasonto pull the head. Performance gain in port-matching aren't large, but it cost you nothing to make the effort.
