i already got a full exhaust made from stock manifolds back because the car is getting a rear mount soon and im trying to get the most out of it to compare it to a boost run

It's been a long long time ago but I dyno tested a ported TB my car. I think it was worth like 5rwhp on the peak when my car was a bolt on car. I didn't feel any difference.
