Greetings,
I'm probably about to prove
that I haven't paid any attention to any of the intake construction threads, but
here goes... I know there's special length that will tune the intake to
make more power. Ed knows what this is, but if he tells us, he has to kill
us (a slow painful death, involving 60 slides) :-)
My general question is
this- does it matter if this runner length is before, or after the
throttle body? I'm using the TWM throttle body, which is completely
separated into two sides. If I kept the air inlet to the TB as separate
tubes for a particular length, would that count towards the tuned system?
The reason I'm thinking
about this of course is pre-planning for the almost inevitable removal of my
turbo. If I end up using a stock cowl, I'll have space in the left
cheek for intake stuff. I've seen a very short intake manifold that sticks
straight out to the side about 4 inches or so, then the TB would stick straight
out another 4 inches or so. While this is simple, and compact, it would
certainly not be good for our power band, so I started wondering if I could
"tune" it with individual pipes on the inlet side of the
TB.
Thanks,
Rusty (Scotty, I need more
power!)
