intake elbows
intake elbows im looking into getting a elbow and wanted to go with the low profile edelbrock elbow but i want to run my 78 tb and it only comes in a 90mm can i run the 78 on a 90 flange and if so will it hurt in performance...
yes you can use a smaller tb its when you go over 90mm there's and issue but i also will tell you gmhightech just did a dyno comparison on elbow great article and they made hp differences noticeable too like 15-25 hp check it out or if it doesnt matter thank good luck

boosted, 90mm is excessive for most builds
Yeah it really depends if its forced induction or not. GM hightech did a comparison between a factory plastic L76 intake, and the edelbrock crab style with elbow, and the L76 won, but it was on a N/A application, so it could have been totally backwards if it was on a turbo motor, who knows. I would like to see a comparison between a FAST 90 and an edelbrock with 90mm elbow and TB on a turbo motor, to see the dyno differences.
