Oh man, good advice! The tests we did were not to recommend the engine build we did, as it certainly wasn't an optimum build, but just to show what we could do with the parts we had laying around.
And great info(yours) it is. I kinda forgot this was your post till I went back and reread the first one, thanks for accepting my info!
Good air inlet, like a bell shaped air cleaner base and a cold air source are worth their weight in gold. If I read it correctly, every eleven degrees air temp increase is a loss of one percent power. If that is true, feeding a motor 180 degree underhood air is not too good. It could cost you as much as ten percent in power.
