Does Harley offer independent dynometer data supporting their claims? I believe Vizard relates that the intake path can be made too smooth, that the intake and head roughness adds to maintaining the

I deprecate on your swirling! Is this item from Harley or just a dealer...sounds like a dealer item and as you said "snake oil". Ask your brother if the same Harley dealer had any gasoline pills. Rob

Gas flow velocity is important for a carburetor to atomize gas into droplets and to prevent those droplets from falling to the bottom of manifold. Velocity is also necessary to blow around the cylin

I was reading Vizard the other night and ran across the place where he discusses putting a fin in the manifold to prevent swirling. He thought that it resulted in compressional condensation of the f

The use of turbulators is quite common in flow systems. Oil, Water, etc. There use is to break the laminar flow into turbulent flow. Especially useful in cooling systems where a laminar flow could c

Couldn't have said it better. Restricting the flow even if it means a better mix is not good. Velocity and drag have an exponental relation. For you math challenged people that means at 1xV=1xD, 2xV=
