Head Modifications and Steps

First Question:
Do I need these bumps (Thermactor Bosses?) in the runner? I don't think so, but I wan't to make sure.



And a link if it doesn't work:

Second, Steps:
I Finally picked up some steel to make step. Do I go with a frame mount or is the flange on the body enough? I have enough space around the fuel lines for bolts. What have you guys done?

No, completely remove them and hog out the ports as much as you dare.
