I have to say that from the factory, the Honda heads really are a fantastic design and on the flowbench the B heads I've tested really kick butt over any factory domestic small block v8 ever offered. You're absolutely right about the domestic stuff being choked up in stock condition. Lets just say that as with almost every head I've seen, the areas on Honda/Acura heads that produce the most benefit in reshaping are the ones that are hardest to access. That is why you usually don't see a whole lot of benefit in anything but a full port job.

Looks like a nice intake, qtiger. 1stgen, most projects I've done have been carb and actually one of the engines we built at the last shop I was at before going out on my own now holds the NHRA national record in comp eliminator F/ED with a 4 cyl - 2V and 4 Webers so I feel your pain in getting them to really work right. Have you ever looked at converting to a slide valve carb like a Lectron?

Glad to meet you guys. I'll be checking back often.
