Your intake looks great taff2.
I would probably weld one or two bosses in the center of the "V" of the lower manifold to allow one or two fasteners to hold the top plate in the centerline of the intake and keep it from flexing. At higher boost pressures and with a large surface area, the plate can flex and leak at the edges over time, (even with a "0-ring" seal at the edges).
Really like your Burst Plate ADDITION ON THE INTAKE.
