I would like to copy that if I may, to identify the tuned length of my 1.75" P-port. Is that threaded rod that you have used on the slide guide? It would be very interesting indeed if you managed to get an in-flight adjustable tuned intake and measure it's effectiveness. Personally I would be happy to just test for the best length at cruise. Keep up the good work!
