If you want to save your hands I used a different method for removing the posts on mine:
First i used a holesaw on the underside of the intake to cut out the bottom of the posts. Then my thought was to fish the robe saw in the throttle body opening, wrap one end around the highest part of the vertical support, then go to it like I am cutting sprinkler pipe. For the rearmost post I needed to add a length of wire to the handles of the ropesaw to allow it to reach.
It works like a friggen dream. It made a nice, smooth cut perfectly flush with the base the post attaches to! The only thing worse than ghetto fixes is when they work, and you have to endorse them and admit to them.
Here’s some proof:

that's sorta what I was thinking just hog it out from the bottom and cut it down as far as I can. I think I have some long shaft cutters at the shop that should reach deep enough to just hog the whole post outta there from below then plug the holes. Speaking of which what did you use to plug them hole saw holes?

Its amazing how much smaller the intake port runners on the intake are compared to the ports on the heads. I'm guessing that's where most of the gains will come from. But definitely not easy to do properly.
