I put M&W's in my "G" last year. I was told they make 50-55 hp, guess it depends on the dyno. I also put on the LP manifold you mentioned, was told 2-3 more hp. I think there are two of those, one ported out big, and one regular, and unless you stroke it the standard one is fine. I cant verify all these numbers unfortunatly because I havnt had it on a dyno since I rebuilt it. I do know it definitly has more power than before. Used to run out of power in 1st gear, but now I only have trouble when I pull 7500 farm stock on tight tracks. I found a used set of hard, 14.9 tires and put them on 14" rims, and when you get the air pressure and balance right it's like the thing is on tracks, definitly have traction, at least for the power I have. I still want to put on a dry air cleaner, like you have, and I'm also thinking about Crum's 3" exhaust, and the cam, they are supposed to make a noticeble difference. But right now I'm competitive in the 6000, and 6500 stock, and it still runs on 87 octane and pulls the hay wagons in from the field, so I'm satisfied. The next step is to find a head off an unstyled G. You have to work a little to get the compression where you want it, and will probly have to run 100+ octane, but it's supposed to make 70+ hp. G's like this pull in 2nd gear when I go in 1st, but I can still sneak by them every now and then. Hope this helps, I'm curious to see what others say too.
