Looks good.
I wish I had taken pics of a local guy's pre-98 w/ 150k miles that had never been cleaned. THAT was nasty. 
Best tip for cleaning - a warm engine. The carbon buildup comes off so much easier.

Open hood.
Start car.
Turn off engine when UIM becomes warm (not hot dummy  ).
Remove.

Won't do crap. Yeah, the car might smoke and spit out tons of junk, but take the manifolds apart and they will look just about the same as they did before cleaning them.
Wrong, ive done it before, before there was MAJOR hesitation when the secondaries opened, but after doing it the car seems to run WAY better, im sure it could be cleaner more with the re-build but im just scared of ruining some stuff, stuff that dosent come cheap

its really not that bad as you think..I was paranoid the whole time but once you get to it, its really jsut a learning process about your engine..its totally worth it cleaning all that crap by your hand and actually seeing it as clean as its posted in the above pictures..

Wrong, I did 2 cans of berryman's b12 chemtool through the intake manifolds when I purchased my svt. It looked like 
. I tore the UIM/LIM down with the help of a few local CEG'ers and the car preformed so much better with the full teardown. As much as you say you get a preformance increase with the non-teardown method, just think of the jump if you did it correctly?

it has been covered before it is best to tear everything down and clean the UIM and LIM, then at a interval that you set you can run the Berrymans through the intake by the vacuum lines to help keep things clean. Also a oil seperator is also going to help alot too
