Jason, would you have a cfd image taken from one of the Victor Jr. manifolds? I checked through the news releases but didn't see one, so I wanted to ask.

Also, can you elaborate (or provide a link with info) on the box style elbows referenced in this link?

I know I feel better. I changed my L76 intake to this set up for fear it would lean out the cylinders. I was getting worried all over again. Still waiting to fire it up for the first time this week.

Jason I have a nitrous motor and I am putting the same ultra low rise elbow on top of a super victor. Would it be worth the trouble to smooth out the diverter? Also will it hurt my engine using this elbow if I spray a 300hp shot?

If Edelbrock designed the elbow, you'll be allright. They don't just make **** and sell it.

I do not know about that. Each product is designed for a specific application or narrow range of applications. There is no one product fits all. Something designed for a 346 NA is not going to work well for a 346 FI setup or the other way around. In theory and real world results are another thing. Phil saw a huge loss of rwhp with on a 408 NA motor. Clearly the elbow becomes a big restriction on larger CID motors.

Is that a 90mm nick williams throttle body? I have one and it does not match the bolt pattern on my throttle body. Am I supposed to elongate the bottom to holes?

I did not get to finish the swap today but I will tomorrow.

It is out the room now, but I did have blower in my room for awhile sitting in the hallway. Nobody ever got mad at me having it, in fact they thought it was cool.

slowhawk, makes no sense that an intake the flows almost 900 cfm (ultra low) would only make 300 hps...............something is wrong with that statement.

Why did you go with Edelbrocks elbow opposed to a sheetmetal one from, say, intakeelbows.com?

When I bought it I didn't know it was supposedly so restrictive. If one of the others is going to give me another 90 hps I'll go buy that one. As far as the fitment, my motto is "Buy and modify"
