Work can be done in all of the areas you mention BUT the one you didnt is the one I think can give the most gain.If you notice on the intake when the throttle is at WOT the intake air almost 'dead heads' against the back of the intake manifold and then has to do a 90 deg right & left turn to the plenums,then another 90 deg turn!.A previous post was on the right track in this area but for the wrong reasons.What will happen to the flow if the axis point of the throttle body X shaft is moved away from the mating face of the intake manifold?.Think of 4 brl carbs with the 90 deg deck under the carb to the runners,when will the gas flow best? at WOT or with the butterfly not exactly at 90 deg to the manifold floor? and how could you make that flow smoother/better......
