Is it possible that the M1 intake manifold would repair my plenum but not add as much power as the AirGap would? I just want to verify this before I drop some cash on my engine. If anyone has a link to the M1 intake manifold that would also be appreciated because I cannot find it, or if anyone else recommends another part that would also be appreciated. If nothing else I might just stay safe with the regular plenum fix from Hughes Engines. (link below). Thank you.

Metal expansion/contraction does not cause the plenum failure.
