The throttle body is not what kills the power, it's the intake elbow. Asking the air to make a tight 180 degree turn kills flow going into the front cylinders.

How much or any Horse Power trade off between the Edelbrock 4150 TB and Accufab 4150 TB. Edelbrock claims 1000cfm flow and Accufab claims 1215cfm flow. Would it matter between the two on a 500rwhp NA 370 setup?
I'm under the impression that a 1000cfm is plenty of airflow on one of these motors??

I found a cheaper alternative for a carb. hat intake for the 4 barrel throttle bodies. Summit racing part number(SPE-9849),it has a 4 inch inlet tube that can be used to clamp a inlet tube to your airlid and run your filter setup like you already have it.
If anyone knows of one cheaper please post it with a part number

That hat has been discussed numerous times over at the turbomustang forums. The general consesus is that the top piece of it which is flat isn't good for air flow. Look up the Extreme Velocity bonnet. Those seem to be the best ones with dyno numbers to back it up.
Has anyone tried a face off between the two caps to see how much of a difference the two are?
ok guys i like this thread... so bought a vic jr and edel elbow it killed my car. at the time my built heads cam 346 dynoed 360hp 306 tq .. i see now where it all went (in the elbow)... but one other problem i had... when tuning them to 12.5 to 13 to 1 they were fine ran great... but over time they kill plugs. and went rich... almost like they were developing vacuum leaks? has anyone had this problem? i tried this on two diff cars and both of them had same problem.. i was ready to throw this thing in trash... so do u guys think i should buy another elbow or throttle body and will fix my problem and pick up hp over my ls6 this time on my current set up in my sig... i really hate to throw any more money into this paper weight.. unless it works this time
That is the edelbrock ultra low elbow. It has a HORRIBLE bend in it! I would not doubt your pick up in HP between it and the arrons elbow. I have the low profile edelbrock elbow,will not clear a stock hood. I may get the high flow elbow,if i have enough room under the hood and try it for comparrison between the two.
Check out my sheet metal elbow, it also doesn't flow well, so we must compare apples to apples, not oranges to apples, lol. It was designed to fit, sort of, under a stock c5 hood. I don't really care though, the spray will take care of any needed HP, lol.

I went ahead and put a edelbrock 4150 TB on my victor jr a few weeks ago along with the spectre 4" hat. I'll get it tuned and see how well it runs at the track,sadly i can't compare it to the bigger edelbrock elbow i had on it. As far as SOTP the 4 barrel is far better through out the RPM band now and the tune is bad rich.
Doesn't putting a hard turn 90° on that TB kind of void the benifit of the carb style TB? It is for pressureized systems so flow doesn't really matter like n/a, so...
