if you don't want to cut the cowl of course it gives you less options...

you'll be fine with the elbow.... tony shepherd runs an elbow and it's been fine...

can't wait to see what he is going to do with his supervic. i don't think he'll have the hood clearance for a supervic and an elbow...

I am going with a 4-barrel 2000 cfm T-body. No elbow.

Why not two smaller throttle bodies?

So how much do you think you'll gain going with the 4barrel and would stock ported heads and a 238/245 cam see big gain with it?

Probably nothing over a stock TB and intake, but it would look cool!

I don't see stock ported heads and a 23x cam gaining anything from a single plane and a 4 barrel TB unless you are turbo'd.
