   Its an intake only. Its a single plane intake manifold. There
are two versions... One is for carbeurated motors like the 300hp
and the 380hp Magnum crate motors, and there's another that is drilled
for fuel injectors. (I think its actually the same piece, the FI
version is simply the carbeurated version with injector bosses.)
  The FI version comes with an adapter plate to allow the stock
throttle body to bolt on. Mopar Performance calls the FI version
the "MPI Magnum Single Plane Intake Manifold" or something along
those lines.

   I've heard estimates of 20-25hp gains from the manifold alone. I'm
planning to get one eventually, but I've gotta save up some cash
first. :-)
