Ported Elbow (portabello ?)
« on: May 05 2005, 11:07:23 PM »
I just installed an elbow that I just finished porting. The improvement
is fairly noticeable. No ET's yet, but the butt dyno says its better.
Any of you guys ever try this ? What were your results/opinions ?
 :question;  :rolleyes;  :question;

I want to, but not until I get a respectable downpipe.
My 1958 Mamiya can beat up whatever camera you just wasted your money on.

My butt dyno thinks that the stock DP and elbow is better than my 3"dp. When I put the 3"DP on my car didnt have the umph it had with the stock stuff. Maybe I upgraded my DP too early. Damn I cant remember, I think I still had the stock turbo.
Save the bumper fillers!
Move to Canadia!

I'm eventually going with a Mease pipe, but this was to satisfy
my current need for speed.
