Thats what I would think too I just had 3 people say its off center but no one said its definetly on center trying to get Cal or Billy to look @ it.
 
Jay, sighting across the back of my stock (therefore off center) intake manifold and seeing how far the back two manifold bolt holes are from lining up, they are shifted about 1/4". That puts the center of one set of holes at about the edge of the other set of holes. An on center intake would be shifted just under another 1/4". The fuel rail line blocks the view in your last picture, but guessing a little :)-)) it looks to me like the back holes are offset enough so that opposite edges of the holes don't quite line up. Based on that I'd say on center, but take a good look for yourself (and at a stock manifold), to be sure.
 
Thanks Carl do you have a stock intake I can compare it to, if so I could bring it Tues if you guys still do pizza.

Sorry, just saw this (two days after pizza pizza :)). Richard has a couple of stock manifolds at his shop, just give him a call to make sure he'll be staying late enough for you to get down here on a weeknight or Saturday (301-498-2700). Now that I'm thinking about it, if you have a stock valley pan style intake gasket just set your intake on it and see if the holes line up.
 
Cool if richard has a couple around I will just stick in in my truck and stop by there Im around his shop a couple times a week thanks carl. Ed its almost identical to champions these came out first.
