There intake will give an honest torque gain but Do Not expect it to be a good deal. The quality of the part is on the NO. Back to the stock manifold for me. ((iDO NOT like the aluminum Plate you have)) That is cheap!!!
The 1/4" aluminum plate is there for a functional reason. It needs it. Do you have an alternate suggestion?

What is this plate you speak of? I never received one when I ordered my M370 intake.

It would definitely be nice to see Motordyne or someone else come out with a full new design meant for the 370Z. I don't like the mentality, "We can make it fit."

On the other hand, if it works, it works.

Improving flow is time consuming, and that cost gets passed on. This is a good, cheap manifold.

Seriously, I would just be happy that someone even bothered to spend the R&D dollars to give you anything. If it wasn't for them you would have nothing. If you want to ball out and design something from the ground up then you should go right ahead! (if you think it's a good investment).

Us 350Z HR guys have nothing!

how much more would you be willing to pay for the same performance gain as M370?

I'm sure that a large part of the M370's cost is getting the OEM manifold. I'm thinking you could have a new one molded for less. The R&D would be the costly part.

Maybe Motordyne can chime with more details.
