You need to elongate the center two intake mounting bolt holes on each side so that they are more vertical. It would be best to then file/grind the bolt head mounting surface on the intake to make it perpendicular to the bolt axis to give it a nice face on which to apply the clamping force.

This isn't too hard, assuming you're working with an aluminum intake. I would think, though, that the Performer system would be matched correctly.
