Tony,

Will it work - probably.;-)  Could it be better?  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!!

what I'm trying to do is figure out how to set up my racing beat intake without the intake tubes going over the top. the (bearded one) says it will work but is only for engines in the 10,000 RPM range and it's not good for 6500 -7000. does anyone. have any other suggestions. I will use four injectors but what I want to do is keep the profile as low as possible.

BTW this is for a Long Ez I'm thinking forced air injection
