If you always operate
the throttle slowly, (like in an airplane) this is
not an issue.
Hi
Bill,
Your description of the
problem is right on, and that's exactly how it worked when I had my 30" long
intake with all the injectors at the end. The throttle response was
horrid, as in dangerous.
IF you never had to operate the throttle
quickly in a plane, it wouldn't be a problem, but there are times when you need
quick response. One example would be on a botched landing (so I've heard
<g>), where you get a good bounce. Often it takes a
significant shot of power to arrest the next bounce, and it needs to be
NOW. I only flew the long intake a few hours because it was just that bad,
and any bounced landing would have ended up in damage to the plane.
All that being said, it doesn't mean the
injector has to be an inch from the engine either. I've had intakes with
the injectors about 12 inches away, and they worked fine.
Cheers,
Rusty
