WStar, I always appreciate your input, and I think you were the first guy who told me its a 350 plenum (now if only I can get the guy who says that it's a 370 intake that has been modified to chime in, we can have an Internet battle...) I personally think its a 350 intake because if you look into the plenum you can see different openings a difference to how the air is channeled...

I think the few that have tried tuning the ECU with the old manifold and then tuning with the new see very little net gain. In other words, the ECU fine-tuning and the manifold seem to overlap on gains considerably. Not enough data to say for sure though.
