I was looking at my intake yesterday and noticed that is stamped "PERFORMER" across it yet it looks cast iron.Is this stock as the previous owner mentioned nothing about the intake being changed?

Try and stick a magnet to it. If it's aluminum the magnet won't stick. If it's iron, it will.

You can also try to find a spot where the paint is flaking off and see if it's aluminum under the paint.
