air-filter & intake optimization

would it be impossible to fabricate a reed valve thingo intakeo that would mount on the current intake? then have the carb mount onto that just fine like normal?

It might add 3 inches at most? then it would just be a cage to hold the reed? or would that explode gaskets?
 
Maybe a Happy Time conversion is in the future?

Small reed block machined of aluminum between a Walbro and the jug?
 
so, am i correct in assuming that a ram-air intake would worsen the performance of these engines? it seems like it would just force MORE intake gas out the exaust port.
 
Ram air would work if you had a way to adjust the mixture according to the "boost".
 
augi do you have any close up pictures of that intake? and how that was fabricated? it looks like a bottom of a soda can or something. or maybe a top?
