It just dawned on me that Tracy has a good intake, which fits under his RV-4 cowl. Unfortunately, I don't remember anything about it, and can't find a picture. Does anyone have a picture that shows Tracy's intake. Actually, I'd like to see pics of anyone's intake, just to get some ideas. The current thought is to get the primary injectors back in the block, and mount the secondary injectors as close as possible. Does anyone know if the turbo, and non-turbo injectors are interchangeable? I'm pretty sure they must fit the same hole in the block, but how about the fuel rails? FWIW, I know (all too well) that the connectors are different. I have to admit, that it's going to be difficult to resist modifying the short, straight intake that I got from David, and using it with my old TWM TB. This will give two injectors in the block, and two in the TB. Since it will be so short (about 10 inches), it will be far less than ideal, but I can't say if it will be better or worse than my current intake until I try it. This is probably the simplest thing to try at the moment. Now that I think about it, I could probably practically bolt it on, without modification (to fit under the cowl) to see how it compares with the other intake in static rpm. Hmmmm....
