Wilson TB Clearance

[KWIKR 1]

Will a stock GN hood close with a SBC and a Victor Jr/Wilson intake elbow ?

If that elbow is the same height as the PTE , yes it will with no issues. I run a victor E with 1in space and have plenty of clearance.

Louie not sure if it's the same height as a PTE elbow . from what Ive been able to gather it is 6" high . Thanks .

maybe it's the pic . But the Wilson looks higher IMO . The base on the Wilson looks thicker .

 

[Louie L.]

My PTE has the thick base also, not that thin one. Im confident that you will have clearance.

wow..I'm actually amazed one of those elbows with a 1" spacer would fit under the hood . Thanks for the info Louie .

I have the thick based PTE with a 1/2 spacer on a victor jr with plenty of room. I'm using a front mount I/C so the pipe going into the intake is close to the hood with about 1/4'' space.

I see that the Precision Intake Elbow comes in a 90 degree and 100 degree . what is the advantage between the two ?

PEP023-1006 - 90 degree (Forward)


PEP023-1005 - 100 degree (Forward)

 

[ghostv8]

The 100 degree angles the t-body down another 10 degress from the 90 degree one. I run the 100 degree one, for hood clearance reasons. I believe most people use that one

OK, how about with a BBC?

Mine is a 100 deg also. But that doesnt change the overall height of either elbow.
Something I should mention, mine is a side facing unit. I have to use the one inch spacer, otherwise the IAC adapter with not clear the fuel rail.
