Yup, my intake manifold is quite ported.  Took a boatload of material out.
I cleaned up the head a smidge, but nothing much, and well within the 1"
rule.   Intake is free, y'know!  Do whatever the hell you want there - tape
4 toilet paper tubes to the backside of your throttlebody, if'n ya think
that's going to make you faster!

Yeah, me too - hopefully, around 110 corrected at the flywheel, hopefully -
I don't want to have to do an engine rebuild anytime soon!  I'll let you
all know!

went EVERYWHERE!)
