If anything the lower is where the restiction is. The only choices for different uppers are the Cobra and Explorer which are just cast versions of the GT40 tubular, and they don't flow any better.

P.S. Nice job on the motor.

Even if that increases to a low 14 high 13, that'd be fine with me in my little pickup! I'm not looking for all out power anyway, just a strong reliable motor.
By the way, I used to have the Cobra and the only diffference I saw between it and the GT40 is the weight savings, and the "purdiness" factor

Nice looking engine.

You own a Focus? I noticed the stack of 16 inchers in the second pic.
