I asked Banks the same question a few years ago. They said the their plates were made by TST for a few years, but no more. When I asked which TST plate mine were equal to he said I would need to tell him the number on the Ottomind plate, since I didn't want to remove the cover I never found out. Call Banks with the number, they have always been easy for me to deal with, make sure to let them know you want to ask a technical question. Since you bought yours used it may be the plate used for a 5 speed, which will give you more power than the one designed for an AT. As for more power mods it depends on how far you want to go, at some point you will have to beef up your AT if you want to use the power. Cheap ways to go for you are to remove the cat, turn your star wheel towards the engine about 30 clicks for more low end power and remove the snorkel restrictor between the airbox and wheelwell.
