to this elbow and gained 90rwhp. Nothing else was changed. same dyno and roughly 2 weeks apart.
That is the edelbrock ultra low elbow. It has a HORRIBLE bend in it! I would not doubt your pick up in HP between it and the arrons elbow. I have the low profile edelbrock elbow,will not clear a stock hood. I may get the high flow elbow,if i have enough room under the hood and try it for comparrison between the two.

when i get a 6.0 and l92 heads in goingto run the new vic jr just need to no whats the best elbow! I was going to get the one off intakeelbows.com but i was told people are picking up 20-30whp putting a 4barrel TB on top of it like this
But i dont want to take off my wipers or cut my cowl that much so i will end up running somthing like this. You can run the same K-member spacers the magnacharged fbodys guys use so you don't have to cut the cowl as much too!

Where do you find the carb hat and tubing? I looked on summit and got nothing in the search for it.
I may swap to a 4 barrel style TB after the first of the year. A few of the vendors told me that for a NA setup it's the only way to go! They told me that i should pick up a solid 20rwhp over my edelbrock elbow. Not disclaiming some of the gains but none of these shops are seeing the gains that are being claimed?? Could be due to different setups or are some people using the ultra low style elbows?
Also what is the height comparrison at the top of the 4 barrel style TB compared to the highest point of the elbow? I have a sunoco hood so i think the 4 barrel style might set lower than my low profile edelbrock elbow?
I did some legwork for us both, as I am considering this for my LT1. These companies make the hat:
Extreme velocity
CSU (Carb solutions unlimited I think)
Procharger
Do a google for blow thru carb hat.

The edelbrock elbows have to be some of the worst choices for a single plane. The bend radius is horrible compared to a typical wilson or sheetmetal elbow.
This is why I went Wilson elbow and 90mm. The bend on the IE.com stuff just doenst keep up with a tighter curved peice.
Hey guys..... I've noticed LOTS of guys don't realize that we make any size and shape elbow you want. Yes, the LS1 stock hood elbows are a tight bend, but compared to the others that are fitting under stock hoods, these are pretty good for the the space there is to work with. If you run an elbow under a stock hood, there is no other choice but to have a tight bend.
Get some dropped motor mounts, a raised cowl hood, or a truck and you can run a taller elbow.
How much did that Elbow cost you if you don't mind sharing. Do you have a link to where you got it, I can't get to the website for some reason from the link the thread..

Just so you no i can see a motor plate setup on the car so the motor sits lower then factory! You will have to cut bottom of cowl a little

This guy orderd one so that he didnt have to cut cowl at all and for stock TB! Hell he ran high 10s with a stock 98 longblock with just a 224 cam and turbo kit!

The edelbrock elbows have to be some of the worst choices for a single plane. The bend radius is horrible compared to a typical wilson or sheetmetal elbow.
It's a matter of trade off - fitment vs. flow. The elbows offered by Edelbrock in various heights are designed to give choices. The ultra-low is more restrictive due to the height, while the tall profile has the best flow and tallest height. To say they are the worst choices is just not factual.
Also notice the Edelrock elbows have a divider. This was engineered into the elbows to appropriate the air-flow distribution into the intake manifold. Most elbows are designed to fit and since air likes to follow the path of least resistance, they tend to push air to the back cylinders. Not sure how many other elbows out there have been put through CFD??? The Edelbrocks have.
The traditional 4-blade throttle bodies do flow and perform very well if you can go that direction.
Interesting.. I'm swtiching from a LS6 ported stock TB to a Super Vic, NX plate, 4150 to 4500 adapter and 4500 TB. Would be nice to see a few more ponies.
