Carb manifold with elbow?
Carb manifold with elbow? I have seen many of you guys out there go with a carb style intake manifold with a sheet metal elbow with a throttle body bolted to that. I was just wondering if they flow better than an ls6 manifold. i am going to buy APS turbo kit when they come out wit there bigger one. Thanks guys i was really interested in this and not to mention i think it looks very good under the hood.
I think the dreaded #7 fuel distribution problems are why most people go with the carb style intake. It's just the design of the LS1/6 intake manifold for #7 to go leaner than the rest and the carb style intake solves that problem.

Ahh i see. is there a company out there that sells these as a kit, or do they have to be put together on your own. I was also looking to run a bit over 900 hp at the wheels as will this manifold support that?

As far as them flowing any better, do a search.
Its a matter of opinion right now, because no one has actually done any experimenting with real numbers. Someone else was going to test both here recently, but I don't think the test has been performed yet.IMO you won't gain any power at all from the carb style manifold (or even a FAST for that matter) over an LS6.

I believe Kurt at Wheel to wheel installed a LS6 intake backwards and still observed higher EGT's on #7.
I would agree that the issue of the dreaded #7 melt down is cooling related.
The carb manifold will yield more even distribution to all cylinders, but will not likely add any more power to a properly tuned setup.
I am using one primarily for the old school look and for design flexibility.
Good luck !!!
