Dragon Elbow Info
Hi everyone,
This is Stefan with Dragon performance. I was told about this thread and decided to check it out.
I'll try to answer alot of the questions I read on here.
The Trick flow part is not mine, I have been told by a third party that has tested both of them on a modified 2v engine that mine made slightly more Hp and 3 ft-lbs of torque more.
My part with a stock 65mm Throttle body flows 580 cfm at 28 in of H2O.
The reason there are three different part numbers is because I put a "lip" at the Throttle body entrance to make smooth airflow from the stock TB to the 75mm throat. I then have that machined out to match a 70mm TB, or remove it to match the 75mm Throat of the part.
The divider is to decrease turbulence during the 90 deg. turn down.
The dyno results on my website were done on stock cars using stock throttle bodies. The only modifications done to the cars was the naturally aspirated car already had an aftermarket exhaust, and the supercharged car had an 8psi
Vortech installed. The testing was done at Total engine airflow.
The questions about the dyno results floating around that are done in text form, I was not involved with. A third party in California bought a part from me and performed the tests.
I'm not going to BS anybody, I see enough of that going around and its not worth it. Chassis dyno's are everywhere and if you lie, someone is going to catch you.
The rumor I heard at the PRI show is that acouple of people are working on 2v 4.6L manifolds, but the upper plenum, elbow, adapter, will be the same. So that means that my part, a C&L, Trickflow, accufab, or stock will still fit the aftermarket manifolds.
I hope this helps.
From what I can tell the Trick Flow looks almost Identical to the Dragon. The Only difference I see is that the Trick Flow has some more metal on the bottom Right where the TB conects to it. This is from just looking at the Pictures side by side. Most companies will sell there product to another company to market and the only difference is the name on it. That is almost what it looks like here. I might be wrong and if I am someone let me know. This is just from comparing pictures of each. I am like the rest of you and would like to see some numbers before I invest my money.
