Hello from Switzerland

You can put a 7-rib smallport in for more performance, if you have one anyway. The thing is that it's not really worth getting one for a lot of money, cause then your usually better of buying something faster in the first place.
I've seen some pretty decent dyno results from a redtop on some site. The guy alimonos bought his camshafts from documented it well.
That dude put in a redtop, and modified the smallport fwd intake manifold to fit, which also amounts to a couple of horsepower extra (compared to bluetop intake manifold + expensive adapter plate). Then he put a supra throttle body on it and it even made a few more horsepower. He almost got 120 wheel (!) horsepower in the end from this engine without any fancy modifications.

BTW, removing AFM would indeed be a mess. You need the complete engine wiring loom and ECU from a MAP sensored ae86 or else a lot of wiring skills. In the end the benefits arent all that great. AFM works better in areas with mountains too.
