Default 2wd plenum vs 4x4 plenum.....

Is there any gain from changing the 2wd plenum/elbow over to a 4x4 plenum?

Have read on here before that the elbow on the 2wd is restrictive.

Car is going to be live mapped on greys in April,running T34.63,just wondered if it is worth changing the plenum or is the 2wd plenum/elbow ok for this power level?

Thanks

The problem with the 2wd and 4x4 is the distance between trumpets and cover...solution is put a 10mm spacer on.
