For FI this will have decent gains.
For NA, well... It will look pretty.
These are my assumptions. And I hope I'm wrong.

I wouldn't mind testing one of these out against the stock plenum on our TT shop car. (Assuming it would swap over)

Since you have this on the car and took it to Z-Dayz, I assume you tuned the car with this on there. Where are the dyno sheets?
We tuned it in house with Osiris, but as I stated earlier the NA power gains were minimal, not a lot of use in posting dyno charts that don't really show any thing of value at this point. Keep in mind that the unit on our 370Z is a prototype that we bought from Kinetix for testing purposes before making a large investment in a stock order.

You all can have my HR if you need access to one.

I think the GTR Mani. would be something to look into.

The GTR VR38DETT lower intake has round holes coming up just like the DE's which is weird.

lol, man ive been preaching this for so long.

HR people get over it. The stock design is pretty efficient. I think Nissan engineers learned a lesson from the DE design.

agreed +100...accept the design and we should be happy that its just one less thing to spend money on.

I wonder if Nissan engineers are laughing at all the attempts to try and create a better manifold? hmm...

Agreed. Most of the DE gains were simply from uneven cylinder filling. Once that was alleviated the remaining gains from spectacular designs were minimal at best.
