LD340 flow testing

I’m going to post something here and I hope it doesn’t confuse more than it helps. When you port heads and an intake it’s good to think not of an intake being an intake, BUT as an extension of the runner. We are asking air to do some crazy things at times. Like making a hard left from the intake into a head runner into possibly a harder left in the head. Learn to study the intake runner as one runner at a time in relationship to each head runner. They aren’t all the same. Sometimes the harder you try to explain something the more you mess with someone’s head so I’ll stop and let you think on that. Grab a head, grab an intake and lay them on a table the way it would be assembled on an engine.

I've always felt that when everything is BOLTED together, it's more of a "one piece" kinda thinking.
