Improper porting can actually make flow worse, and in the case of 2G heads, you'll lose a little bit of the edge they get. The smaller ports equals higher velocity air, as opposed to more volume at lesser velocity. Leave the head alone for now.

As for the exhaust manifold, pickup a FP exhaust manifold or an EVO 3 manifold. Both are proven log style manifolds and cast, so they won't crack on you like the eBay tubular.
