I've got a Vic Jr. and Nitro Dave elbow. I got it for better air distribution. Whether or not it makes a difference on my car I dont know because its all I've run.

That is one thing I was wondering about is the air distribution,looks like the possibility of going lean on a couple of cylinders would have to be a bad thing on a forced induction set up.I know the ls6 will make more torque at lower rpm's but with a 800-1000 hp how can it make that much difference?

I'm running an LS2 intake + NW 90mm TB. One of my advisors does not like how most of the elbows being used (to fit under stock hoods) are so compromised.

Just another reason to get a 4" cowl and extend it to the windshield

I use a wilson elbow that accepts my 105mm tb I had to cut the cowl off the car but it wasnt a big deal at all. I run the VFN 4in ram air that goes back to the window

I have the same setup. I'm a little leary of Dave's elbow though. It sure necks down pretty small to fit under the cowl.
