Which elbow is that on the intake, how much of the cowl did you have to remove.. doesn't look like much. Was it close enough so that maching some of the top of the intake would have made it clear, or would it still be too high?
Reason I ask is that I was considering a 90/90 setup, but with the cost of that vs the vic. jr intake and a nw 90mm, it close enough so that this could be a better way to go, with a 4500 converter, I'm not gonna see too much low end anymore, so I'm not too concerned about much that happens under 3000 anymore. Plus this evens out the air intake quite a bit, and if I decide to spray the stock bottom end, that could help things some.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm sure this intake setup for your car willmost certainly be a better way to go, the guy donw our way that's doing similar things to what you are going with is going with the GM single plane, probably for the same reasons that you went with the edlebrock. Personally, I want to go wotht eh edlebrick because of the ease of the swap, with the rails available for it and whatnot. I do have a couple questions, how does thevacum line hook up for the master cyl, and what abou thte heater box activation stuff? I'm not at the point where I am willing ot not have that stuff working, so it's kind of needed.. I haven't actually seen one of these on a car yet, so I have no idea how that stuff works. Also, what about hte map sensor, is there a location for that as well?
If you have pic's of the intake, assembled and ready to go on the car with all the electronics and whatnot hooked up, that would probably fill me in alot on how exactly it works.
Thanks again, I know... alot of questions. But, I won't find out the answer if I don't ask!
