92mm would be good enough for that. Hell the factory ls tb is good for 4 digit power

I'm running a 92mm shooting for 1500rwhp. If you're running 3.5 IC piping then that would be the bottleneck in your cold side. I don't see how running a 4+" TB would result in better results.

Is this my only option? Is it restrictive?

There's 3 levels of the edelbrock elbows. The ultra low is the most restrictive of the bunch, but does fit cleanly under the cowl hood. I'd be more worried about airflow evenly through the intake with it than airflow through the elbow. I have the mid level one on my car, but it's not in a stock hood configuration.

yes, that's the word.

I have run a 92mm up to 1750rwhp... I am changing up to a 105mm with my new setup.

Todd Berry makes some real nice elbows, you can buy them from Proline.

I still have a 90mm

I don't know how much it'll support, but I recall reading somewhere where lynch had a 90mm well over 2K hp.
