We must understand that my perception of performance gains is by the 
seat-of-the-pants dyno.
This is also contributed to by more intake noise...kinda
like taking the air filter off my dad's 1963 Pontiac Bonneville.

I can assure you that there is improvement.  I suppose
a dyno run would be necessary to quantify the improvement, and I suspect 
somebody out there has
already done this.

I also have dropped a tooth on the countershaft sprocket, but that was done 
long before the intake mod.

It seems it may have lost a little grunt below 4k rpm, but the midrange and 
high end are definitely substantially stronger.

Still, all the R&D has been done.  I just followed Mr. Northrup's 
instructions, and I was good to go.
