A supercharger/turbocharger generally ensures that your
engine will receive more air than an NA engine regardless of the intake.
However,some things to keep in mind:
1. The losses encountered in an intake under NA
conditions will be even higher under supercharged conditions.
2. Unless you are running under boost all the time,
at some times you would be running essentially NA. ( No experience with a
supercharger, but some with cars using turbochargers).
3. Longer intakes are generally more suited for
getting more torque at lower rpms which with a supercharger is pretty much a
non-issue.
4. If the intake is otherwise clean and
straightforward then the difference between 12" and 8" is probably insignificant
with forced induction.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Intake manifold
Design with Super Charger
Need a few
opinions. Are intake runner lengths important (13" vs 8") if I am
running a Super Charger. I have been struggling to build a clean intake
with 12-13" runners that will clear the cowl. 8" would be much simpler.
Thanks,
Bobby
