r16: will make a differance in hp and if so how much?

Yes, it can increase power. How much depends on what all is done, how well it is jetted, and so forth. You can't beat the "cool" factor of twin Webers, Dellortos or Solex carbs under the hood though!!

Add a cam in the mix to get the real bang for your buck.

American Racing Cams can grind one for you relatively cheaply.

The last time that I checked with Pierce, they wanted about $300 for the manifold, linkage and soft mounts. Another company sells the same manifold though:

This was discussed on the Roadster Racing forum. You may want to read the posts about it. There could be an issue with the machining:
