Default New Carbon Fiber Elbow..what does everyone think?
I'm switching the cnc'd elbow design over to a molded high temp, high stiffness 8k carbon fiber bonded to cnc'd flanges. They will cost about the same to make! Does anyone have reservations for this design or first hand experience with CF molded intake parts? Comments please! http://www.corneltechweb.com/superchargerphaseii.htm

Ive always thought there was never a roots style sc for the lt1, I have been proved wrong once again. That is pretty sweet though, if it wasnt for my ram air I would invest in getting the elbow hydrocoated in cf.

Not "they", "he".

It seems like its been in progress for ages - I know he had at least one running already, and now looks like its being rebuilt with a different unit on a built block with more lofty goals.

Definitely a cool project.

The pics of that lower LT1 intake machined from billet are very nice. Someone spent A LOT of time designing/making that and the machine work looks A+. Sorry I'm alittle off topic but
