N2O with Vortec elbow?

I just got this part and it doesnt look like it will work. there is a divider that looks like it will interfere with the pattern. Anyone else try it?

I've seen a few people on here that use it and claim the divider doesn't affect anything. You could cut it out. I went with the Trickflow elbow. It has no divider. :)

I didn't feel comfortable putting my alky injection nozzle in the Vortech elbow until I cut the divider out. I wouldnt put a nitrous nozzle in either, without removing the divider, no matter how many other people had done it w/ the divider intact.

If the vortech elbow is something you received new, I'd return or exchange it and get the Trickflow, as mentioned by Derrick.

my good friend my95T/a didn't cut the divider at first and melted a couple of #2 plugs because the nitrous wasn't getting distributed evenly. After he cut it out no more problems. I would definately cut it out

I was thinking of putting together a custom system similar to the TNT plate kit only with the two nozzles on both sides of the vortec elbow. Any thoughts on this?

I would say that would be a much better option. Depending on how big of a shot you spray, I don't know if I would trust the dual nossles above a 250 shot though.

That would work just fine and would allow you to spray 200+. If you're not planning on spraying that much, a single nozzle with no divider would be much cheaper, cleaner, and work just as well.

The elbow looks killer is why I chose it over the TFS. What tools are you using to remove the divider? It is a pretty stout piece of aluminum. A dremmel doesnt seem like it would be strong enough. Also I checked on spraying both sides and you divide both sides by total power. I figured by the time you spent the extra cash for the nossle and lines and jets it would be high. Thanks

my friend cut his out with a mini air saw, it wasn't the easiest thing to do but it was necessary. I would saw cut it out any way you can. Good luck

I am wanting to start at 150 and go to 200. I like the idea of nozzles on both sides for even distribution, but I think the TNT kit places the nozzles to close so that the front cylinders (1/3 and 2/4) have a harder time getting a good gulp of the juice.

That divider isnt all the way through that elbow.. It starts about part way. you could just put it before the divider.
