Jay, When you do re-route the intake will you post a pic.? I'm very interested in all of this and there have been posts already with some interesting figures. I had the opportunity today to try out some in gear runs,with the standard axle and gearbox on the M16 engine, albeit with a bespoke Omex ems. Best we managed was 75mph in second before the rev limiter cut in at 6,500 rpm and 110 in third. So as I am mulling a change to v8 power, or perhaps adding throttle bodies to the existing engine, I'm always looking at other peoples experiences.
