I only know this from RC engines, but when you put a tube like that on an intake, you're tuning your intake to a certain RPM...and I've never seen something like that work well. Methinks mounting ONE cone straight up and down on the middle round part would serve you better than those two tubes.

Whats worse for HP is the throttle butterfly, for maximum torque you really need to speed up the velocity of the intake charge. Theoretically, the system would work best if the TB was about 10x its diameter away from the intake manifold. Not that this works with a v8 system, its slightly impractical packaging.
Now, a v8 engine is suceptable to these RPM tunings, but unless you are working towards maximum power its not a big deal. RC engines are highly tuned in regard to SBCs. |

well, I dont' care what any of you say.. and I AM an engineer...so go to hell!!!
he is absolutely right, and I don't give a rats ass what any of you chip-on-the-shoulder shadetree mechanic say.... IT DOES LOOK LIKE THE ROBOT!!!

If heat is not an issue, I like it. Looks like the rest of your car...Unique.
But those are some pretty small straws. |

Screw the filter idea. Just make a huge velocity stack out of some sheet metal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

ditto on the straws....
But I'd be more concerned about the tiny volume above the air horn. The short, small "can" probably won't do much for a nice smooth airflow. I think someone above was hinting that you'll probably have inconsistent efficiency - possibly resulting in rich/lean conditions. You normally don't see a small cover like this except in forced induction applications - where airflow efficiency becomes less a concern because of the pressured environment. I'd consider going to something larger like a typical SBC dual snorkel filter - you could still dual filter it, but you could also fit an airhorn to smooth the airflow. .02 Troy |

 K & N makes this cast alum bonnet and has a perfect 4" dia. snout. This pic is with a 4" flex alum flex tube (prototype) going to a 4" neck x 10" long K & N filter. The filter is (not seen) tucked into the rear qtr. area , and gets some cold air from a duct on the fender. Since the pic, I've installed a custom mandrel bend 4" dia. tube in place of the flex. It works totally better than the old style top mount filter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Marty |
