Thanks and cramped it is for sure! As far as restrictions go though there are two things to consider. First, a 90 degree bend, especially a smooth one like this only represents a theoretical 1% decrease in airflow. The bigger concern for me is actually a 90 degree turn right at the maf.

Not because of a restriction, but due to the havoc it plays with the MAF sensor. However, looking at the design of our maf, it looks like it has more than enough attention paid to straightening airflow before the sensor that it shouldn't be an issue at all. It will be interesting however to graph out the airflow before and after to see if there is a major difference.

The other thing to remember here is that I "need" a restriction of airflow.

I'm running a blower that can make 555 HP at max rpm (which I am set to run) and I want to make 130 or so less. Max supercharger rpm for max low end, then choke it off at the top to limit boost!
