- We want to supply cold air to a motor. Is HP or displacement the determining factor in "how big a pipe do we need so the motor doesn't starve for air?" A carb is what? 4" or less of flow at wot? I am

- As long as you are not creating drag by adding a cold air inlet, why not make it as big as possible? I think CFM (air flow) is the key question; air flow velocity is a problem if the cross- sectiona

- Is your planned speed high enough for installation of a diffuser? If so, it could guide the design of your inlet. As Neil says, with the proper size inlet, air velocity is lower and manifold pressur

- Cold air gains 1% for every 7 degrees F more ore less drag for inlet is V^3 how fast do you go and where do you think the trades are ? here is a hint if you get colder air with an inlet that is just

- Dave, depends on where the inlet is. If for instance it was in a headlight bucket receptacle (ie remove the headlight and put a bell inlet there) that was already a high pressure point then there wou
