CAI > Elbow, any day of the week.
The only benefit to running the Vortech elbow is that it eliminates the 'donkey dong' air silencer (easily deleted anyway). The CAI makes the power, not the elbow.

Maybe I wasn't clear, but yeah.
The purpose of a CAI is to relocate the filter outside of the engine bay so it pulls in cooler air, making more power (hence "cold air induction"). Your filter setup is sucking in hot engine bay air as it sits.

well this deal never went through because he was kinda gonna rip off cuz he just wanted to switch elbows a new deal is in play switch elbows and i get his long tube pacesetter headers for free and well looks like its going to go through 
there is nothing wrong with them no leaks nada he just want to get hooker headers instead so what do you all think about that one?

More power to you 
Trick Flow ceramic coated Aluminum elbow there sells for $93.00 on Summit (part #TFS-3150801). Anybody looking for one like it could find it cheaper I'm sure... i.e. Granatelli at ws6store.com. http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=2521
add the lingenfelter super tube and you've got the combo http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=1812. It puts the filter element below a close-off panel away from engine bay heat. FWIW.

yea that exact elbow new is like $80 plus shipping lol...
at the very least you could sell it to him and take the trade, and then just buy a new one...getting basically whatever he gives you on trade for free

Ebay elbows are like $40, look the same as all the fancy name brands. Hope your retarded friend doesn't see this post, lol. Actually, ask him if he wants to trade a good LT1 for my shot one next time you see him.
