We didnt have a before number but if i had to guess id say it was somewhere in the 370 range. after was 404 or something rather. 385 or so on the torque. Real broad curve though! And the setup never runs out of breath liek it did with the LS6 intake. It pulls til redline.

You also will gain HP even from a set of heads that flow 280, please keep the talking out of your *** stuff to yourself.
what do you mean talking out my ***? What is that ****? Mine was ported and matched with my heads by Greg Good!

My opinion, and it's just that, an opinion, is that the port entrance is a choke point on a high flowing set of LSx heads. With that in mind, I always make the intake manifold as wide as the heads where they meet. That's just how I do it. Others like to have the intake smaller for a mismatch that hopefully hinders reversion. I'm not a follower of that theory. Once reversion is that far up into the intake you're screwed anyway.

Hey, I'm just a student of head porting and do not consider myself an expert. I'm always leaning. I'm used to people telling me I'm wrong all the time, so don't worry. 
Now that you mention it, I did bump the o-ring groove in a couple of places on Beard's intake. Oops! I'm glad he's putting a Beck 'fold on it.

Hey Greg if I pulled my intake off my car could you port match it to my heads without me pulling the heads off.I never did this and the heads you ported for me flow like crazy im sure my fast is holding them up a bit.

You and me both know. If it can be done, Greg can do it!
