Air, water and our cars do not like to make tight 90 turns. When you go around a corner in your MG you make a nice radius, not an L. If you did bad thing would happen. Experiance teaches us we can not trun on a dime or we will hear the crashing of metal as your car rolles over. The same is true of air flowing into our carburators. The air crashes togeather causing swirling and blockage. <br>
Velocity stacks work by increasing the inlet track length, eliminating turbulance and improving air flow. I almost all cases they will help low end power, as most intakes are way too short. They are designed to fit under the hood, be inexpensive and allow an air filter to protect the engine. VS also provide better mixing of fuel and air.<br>
More air flowing through the same size carb usually requires leaning the mixture, not making it richer. Higher vacuum is created with more air flow enriching the mixture. Bigger carbs reqiire larger jets because there is less vacuum to suck the fuel up and out.<br>
Most veloicty stacks on the market are very poorly designed. They have too large an inside diameter and/or to short and do not have a proper radius. The radius should wrap all the way around.<br>
A proper VS can have other benifits as well. I was lucky to work for one of the top motor flow experts when I was younger. He showed me a lot of tricks on his custom built flow bench. Since then I have done cylinder heads for many AMA national champions like Kenny Roberts. I have been able to almost double the air flow on a head without increasing valve size. More then double with larger valves. <br>
Most performance mods come at a cost. Ie you lose bottom end to gain top end. But with good air flow that is not usually the case. Proving better air flow will usually help throughout the power range. <br>

Are we comparing apples with oranges here? Take an air cleaner off any carb and you'll hear more noise. Why? Air cleaners themselves absorb/insulate some sound. And different kinds vary. The K&Ns are slightly noisier than stock MGB air cleaners. I don't think that's because they're less efficient. My guess is that they provide less acoustic insulation. <div><br></div><div>Kelvin - your point is well-taken.

The extra noise from a fan or an engine is just the noise made from air movement. Though our engines do make more power at the higher rpms (thus more noise) it's actually not as efficent at processing the air movement as it is at a slower speed. I believe that the most efficent engine in the world has an 8 foot stroke and maxes out at102 rpm. It's most efficent speed is 100rpms. That gives plenty of time to extract all of the engergy from the fuel/air misture. When the heater fan is turning at 3 times the low speed it is not moving 3 times the air, just moving more air. Noise is just unused energy. </div>

<div style="FONT-FAMILY:times new roman,new york,times,serif;FONT-SIZE:12pt">I respectfully disagree that more air = more noise by default. "Noise" to a mechanical engineer (or most any engineer) is an undesireable by-product of inefficiency, i.e. whatever is causing the noise is sapping energy from whatever the machine is supposed to do (unless it's job is to make noise). Having said that, stub stacks should reduce noise -all else being the same - because the efficiency of the system is increased.<br>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div>To that end, Allen opens up the issue of Bernoulli. In our carbs Bernoulli is working hard for us at the piston/bridge, not the inlet throat. Without some kind of "stack" Bernoulli is screwing with us at the carb inlet as the "apparent" inlet diameter gets smaller due to the air having to make a hard 90-degreee turn... turbulence is also introduced before the piston/bridge which is not a happy thing for nice even fuel induction.<br>
<br>Those two reasons are what makes the mixture "change" when you put a stack on. Not more air, per se, but quality of air flow. <br></div>

<div><font size="4">If the carbs are tuned again to compensate for more air to the inlet, then more power should always be the result. If more power is “Better”, then the answer is yes. But you must adjust for more airflow to get a more better running motor..ie more air will need more fuel too if a result is to be more power. Maybe a new, slightly richer needle is the ticket to heaven. I know the K&N filter people caution that their filters flow so much more air than the usual paper ones, that a richer needle, or jet, or slight enrichment adjustment may be desirable for best running.</font></div>
<div><font size="4">Of course all this extra air flow is also likely to create more inlet roar under acceleration. Is that “Better” or not???</font></div>
<div><font size="4">I personally run the MGA cleaner assemblies rather than the Magnette one for better access to the carb adjustment screws for keeping up with summer 100 degree days now swinging to winter 50 - 60 degree days and the resultant changes in idle speeds due to cooler, denser air, and the need to richen the mix by about 1/8th of a turn.</font></div>

<div style="FONT-STYLE:normal;DISPLAY:inline;FONT-FAMILY:'Calibri';FONT-SIZE:small;FONT-WEIGHT:normal;TEXT-DECORATION:none">I'm cautiously venturing beyond my paygrade here, but are we not talking about the Bernoulli Principle: stating that as air enters a conical tube the air pressure is maximized, but as the tube diameter conically diminishes, air pressure decreases as air speed increases inside the carb. Without a conical stub stack, there is no acceleration in the air entering the carb inlet. How much lift would we get from a cross-sectionally flat airplane wing-top with a squared-off leading edge?
<div> </div>
<div>That being said, how can the original Magnette intake plenum perform any of this function? Same question for the intake plenums on T-series cars. I would think they would be Bernoullian disasters. Would a Magnette engine always run better with stub stacks rather than the original plenum?</div>

Longer stacks as in longer runners means more torque while shorter ones mean more power. Not lots, but it all contributes to a freer flowing intake which helps your freer flowing exhaust to make a bit more power/torque and slightly better fuel economy. You note vintage racers usually have anywhere from2.5 to 6 inch stacks. Some with a stocking for a coarse filter, most just hoping nothing of consequence enters the throat… I have a set of 2.25 inch stacks in my 3.25 inch K&N’s on my MGB and they seem to help. Just the ho hum stock setup on my Magnette.</span></div>
