Easiest thing is to take out some timing, turn off the meth, and just run the tb open. If you still get pressure drop its the tb, otherwise its the intake tube.

If you could feel how soft it is after driving the truck you would feel differently.

Yup. I am going to work on finalizing a different intake tomorrow, but if not I will try to get that done.

That was another theory. It is a really sharp bend

I will measure this eventually anyway. I want to know how much pressure drop I get due to the TB anyway. I know it is a big restriction, but I want to know exactly how much.

Elbow resembles a spectre one? If so ive sucked that thing shut on a turbo back in 09......better off with metal as some have stated

To prove if your intake is cause....remove it and run open TB
