Intake Elbow
Are any of the aftermarket intake elbows worth two shakes? I've heard reviews that claim a lot better throttle response with them.

Which one did you use?

I found one article where they show 7hp and 13lb-ft on a dyno.

I just thought about it because I have mine off to drill and tap for a boost gauge since the factory MAP is off with the SRL tunes.

I say save your money for something more worthwhile. The intake manifolds themselves are a bigger restriction than the elbow. For the money spent, you won't notice a change in performance.
