Will this give any gains like using an M50 intake manifold on any OBDII 6?

The early non-DISA manifold? As far as I know you can't close the hood with that on on. The later M42s had the same manifold as M44s.

I believe that swap would have the reverse effect compared to doing the M50 manifold.

The E30 manifold was geared for more lowerend torque, while the E36 manifold is better breathing.
