This science of making a larger volume chamber under the cowling confuses me.
The air in this chamber isn't doing anything useful.  The volume as the air is passing the cylinder cooling fins may be what's important.  If the air expands and cools above the engine but speeds up and heats up as it goes past the cylinders, have we gained anything?
