HI all,
In searching on the net I ran across a site that that had a calculator for determining intake length for "ramming" additional fuel into the engine to increase power....the principles of ramming has to do tuning the length of the intake runner to maximize the amount of fuel being "stuffed" into the engine when the intake valve or port is opened. You may want to check it out....kinda neat....according to different values I input we would need an intake runner of about 24 inches to coincide what I believe our max engine RPM should be (around 6000)....while the 6000 RPM is just my idea of max....the engine my go higher but mine at least stats feeling too vibration filled and noisy for me to feel comfortable pushing it any higher....heck with enough torque we could simply gear higher and go faster with fewer revs....of course you shouldn't go too low with the revs and risk lugging or overheating the engine.
Oh...the site to look at is...http://www.bgsoflex.com/intakeln.html
Try it you might like it....I am going to tinker today hopefully if I get off work early...I may actually go a little longer for more mid range since I really don't like to spin 6000 RPM.
