Spohn solid mounts, airlid doesnt line up???
Measured using the spohn tubular k member and solid pedestal mounts.
Checked at the frame, the mounts and the engine
My car was bone stock when I bought it and it had 85k on it when I drove it off the used car lot.
I was putting 430 to the wheels before I added subframes...of course its going to be tweaked a little..
And even bone stock you will tweak the frame some over time.
Edit*
Photobucket is my friend today.lol.
Here's a picture of the lean my intake had before I fixed the problem.
It's easier to see with all my square lines on this setup...
Very pronounced when it sticks up so far..
It's only a 1.5* tilt... Looks like a lot more, but its not. It's just exagerated by the height.

I don't think it's a twisting issue. My car has 64,000 on it, non T-Top car, previous owner installed subframes and welded in a 6-point roll cage/bar because he tracked it.
Still doesn't matter.. no telling what he did before adding that stuff...
Also... You are 10 bolts and a fuel line fitting away from seeing if the engine is sitting level..
It's easy to test.
Then from there you can investigate if its an issue with your mounts, or the car.
You can measure the angle it is off very easily as long as you have a flat square surface to use...
2 right angle surfaces and you can use the tangent of a triange to find the exact angle down to fractions of a degree...
