Default Edelbrock ultra low profile elbow

Currently I'm running an Edelbrock ultra low profile elbow on my twin turbo car. I'm wondering how much power I'm losing over a sheetmetal elbow? The shape of the edelbrock looks to be a bit restrictive. Could it be hampering higher boost performance?

Just wanna know if anybody has compared both on the track. I'm dying to get the car into the 8's but don't wanna up the boost anymore for now...... It went 9.13 @ 151 today so it's not far off. Just needs a little attention. This seems to be a good area to start.

Any thoughts or experience would be appreciated

i wouldnt expect the full .13 out of a elbow swap, but i could imagine it would help.

edelbrock makes a few different versions

cut the hood and buy a pro flo xt intake, they are sick, especially on boosted applications!!!

A pro-flo will fit under a stock WS-6 hood? I mean I know it requires cutting, but after cutting, it will fit?

I'm not looking to replace the intake. Just wanna know if anyone has made the switch from the ultra low pro to a sheetmetal elbow. Is there any sort of gains to be made? I have heard the ultra low profile elbows are very restrictive

according to the engineers @ edelbrock, the full flow elbow (the tall one) will gain apx 15hp over the ultra low profile elbow
