David;
As long as you are not creating drag by adding a cold air inlet, why not
make it as big as possible? I think CFM (air flow) is the key question; air
flow velocity is a problem if the cross- sectional area gets small. Pressure
drop increases greatly as the velocity increases.

Subject: [Land-speed] cold air supply question
We want to supply cold air to a motor. Is HP or displacement the
determining
factor in "how big a pipe do we need so the motor doesn't starve for air?"
A carb is what? 4" or less of flow at wot?
I am supposing the length of pipe would matter at some point . . . at what
length?
Thanks for playing . . .
David
