Hi Jason,
  I don't know this for a fact but there should be minimal length of any flexible hose in the intake runners.  The pulse amplitude in the runners is surprisingly high and the flexible tube may act as a damper as it flexes and destroy tuning effects.  You might try different length metal runners and couple them with short pieces of hose.
 
Let us know the results!

Ed,

 

I am using 1 ¾ secondary and 1 ½ primary tubes. That is what matched the port size on the engine (when deformed to the oval shape of the port). The lengths of the runners are eight inches from the side of the engine. The runners terminate into a 4" manifold log and a 65 or 70 mm T/B. My plan is to build a new manifold log with velocity stacks and then experiment with different length radiator hose for runners. I know this is not optimal for flow but it should get me in the ballpark quickly. Any suggestions are appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Jason
