I can see it adding sum hp though for sure. Idk about 20 but id think at least 10 if not a lil more.

Just need $235 and for 20 hp that's only $11.75/hp. Not bad at all lol

Its not that the proper elbow will gain big power its that an improper one will cost big power. Take a 4 barrel Holley carb gasket and hold it next to a PI elbow like he is using and you will see half the plenum of the Edelbrock is not touched. Its like trying to breath through a straw.

I'm not doubting it at all. With the flow of those heads in conjunction with that eddy, I'm not surprised at all that an improper intake elbow could cost that much power. The new elbow wouldn't really be adding power per say, sounds like the old one is just a major restriction and is costing him a good amount of power.

Once he redoes the test if that is the only thing changed it will give us all a good baseline. With the power stopping at 6200 something somewhere is choking it down.
