I'm interested in these results too. Just out of curiousity, what elbow were you looking at (one of the low profile ones?)

Check with Danny at Lethal Performance in SA, They changed Gus's Fast 102 with a single and elbow. I think he picked up several hp.

The elbow looks a lot like this company. It cant clear by much. You can see what I have on my car and it didnt fit.
