[Healeys] 100M cold air boxes and flow

[Alan Seigrist]

Hey Adam -

Thanks for the kind words.  Note that putting on trumpets in the box (and
other modifications) should help improve the flow at high speeds, but oddly
enough the turbidity at less than half throttle is probably a good thing to
help evenly vaporize the fuel, improving consumption and low speed torque.

I'm sure you could probably get much more by smoothing out the profile of
the dashpot piston and SU body Venturi chamber.  I wonder if anyone has
ever done this?

Best,

Alan
