Do you think
48-50mm's would boost power? Mo mix? The allout Racing Beat
wrap around intake uses 48MM Webers or Dellorto carbs. Dave Atkins is
really estute with that rig, so what does he say?

One simple theory says
that the largest throat possible will decrease air
flow resistance, and let the MAP get closer to the actual ambient
pressure. This ignores the more complicated theory that says that higher
velocity air through a smaller opening will help stuff more air in
the chamber. Everything is a compromise, so your best
results will be somewhere in between tiny, and huge. Ed will calculate
this for you, since he has no flying plane
:-)
Seriously, my 40 mm
(which I didn't chose) has the same ID as the 1.75" OD tubing that I used
for runners. I doubt they're causing me any problems now, but I do worry
that it will be somewhat restrictive when I get to the -C drive, and 7000+
rpm. If I end up matching Tracy's static rpm with this
setup, it will be interesting to see how I do with the higher
rpm configuration.
If you want to know what
Dave has to say, give him a call. I've had my last conversation with
him.
Cheers,
Rusty (low tolerance for
BS)
