Default What elbow is this?

Just wondering who makes this elbow, and if it was good for FI. Will be running 408/S91 @ ~17psi. Thanks for any info.

Pretty sure that's a nitro dave's elbow. Great elbow that clears the cowl but I ended up selling mine. I wasn't comfortable with how small it necked down to.

That's kinda the issue I had with it. It looks like it necks down pretty tight under the cowl. I've got a tall pin-on hood, so clearance isn't an issue and as long as I don't lose my wipers I don't care to cut. Here's a closer pic of it.

Hit them up they probably can build you a taller one. I have seen that elbow it does LOOK necked down but is not. The area is larger then the throttle body opening in sq. inches. If you get one make sure you get the boosted one. Thicker material and its double welded.
