The F&B Stage I on my 318 improved my ET by about 2.5-3.0 tenths of a
second in combination with previous mods. That approximates to about
25-30 hp gain using the usual rule-of-thumb projection.
I can't speak personally about Jules' products but, from what I've
read, he does put out some quality products based on a lot of know-how
... 35-40 could be possible, I guess.

Yup, a grand U.S. (about $1500 CDN) is a lot of money for a ported tb
but it depends on how confident that it'll deliver the extra 35-40
and how badly you want it. Just my 2 CDN cents (a little over 1
U.S. cents).
You might want to consider other ported tbs and use the remaining
$600-700 to buy a MPI intake manifold and DML MPI install kit (soon,
I hope) or have your intake manifold modified.
