Problem solved! Pounded the crap on a flat blade screw driver to wedge between manifold and head. Ruined the screw driver but heard the gurgling of the water as I broke the seal on the cooling system. From there it was just more pounding and getting the screw driver wedged to lift manifold. Tied a rope between the carb flange and the thermostat housing and lifted it out. Never seen an intake so difficult to pry away from heads. Carbon buildup on the tray around exhaust cross over indicated how hot it was getting without crossover plugged. Still believe that this caused issues with the FiTech. New airgap intake should resolve this problem. Specs say good from 1500 to 6500 rpm. I run at 3000 rpm 95% of the miles I drive. Gotta be a lot better than what I had. Time will tell if I should have went with standard Aluminum intake.
Thanks to everyone for thinking about my problem.
