Probably.;-) My concern is that the area to the #2 rotor is more restricted than the #1. I'd like to see a more rounded area to the #2 rotor. Measure from the edge of the inlet opening up to the edge of the new manifold and calculate the amount of air inlet to that rotor. It doesn't appear to have enough volume to me. Also there would be a constriction for the rapid turning of the air flow there. But that's why we make these models first so it is easier to visualize any problems. By the way, I love the color of the engine!!
