Default Opinions on aftermarket 90* banjo fittings for 4l80e

Do you guys think these will flow well enough to not hurt anything in a high performance application?

Haha!

Sweet Performance makes them and they have been around a long time in the performance world. I've used many of their steering components on race car stuff back in the day. I don't think they would make and sell something that would compromise the flow of a performance application.

I got the sweet performance straight 6AN fittings and will use 90 degree fittings on the hose ends. Much nicer radius on the hose fitting

i bought a set a couple years ago for a typhoon project i bailed on at the last minute. im about to install them in my truck in a week or so. i did some looking around last week and couldnt find many people that had much to say. nothing bad, a few people use them without issue. couldnt find anyone opining on the flow aspect. i decided to just go ahead and use them since i have them already anyway

Those are cool. If they work it surely helps with space constraints.

Yeah the 80e is huge in my camaro. The 90* fittings are not clearing now that im pushing the motor back a few inches. Im sure they work great in daily drivers, what happens at 7k+ rpm? I asked the seller and he didnt know of any high performance applications.

Guess ill be the test dummy.

I can use them if you rather have some cash instead of fittings.
