What type of elbow with a FAST 102/102 ? If it's going in your FIrebird, you should not need an elbow.

I eliminated the MAF and went Speed Density. I stuffed a 4 inch aluminum piece of pipe between the 2, 4 inch rubber hose couplers. At WOT with 454 cubes, No restriction with a SLP lid and a K - N Filter .

i havent installed it yet because i just arrived in italy, but i just got the Fast 102/102 setup. I already have the FTP 98mm Lid and i got a TSP 100mm MAF.....and i ordered a few silicone couplers from the internets. Just google silicone couplers/intake hoses there is a bunch of sites out there to choose from.... 4 inch coupler at both ends should work just fine with some hose clamps.

FTP also makes a 104 lid if you want it...but from a 98mm to 102mm is not that much of a difference if any at all..... the only nice thing is you would be able to slide the MAF right inside the neck of the lid without any type of coupler at all, just put a hose clamp on it and your good.

hope this might help you out some....let me know

We run a 4" (101mm so it is a tight fit) piece of silicone coupler for turbo applications, between our FTP 104mm lid and the throttle body.
