stewy - i agree completely on the velocity thing... hence my concentration thus far on port X area. witness the 'small' 45mm throttle in comparison to some engines getting around. im even thinking of filling and reshaping the inside of the runners (of the stock manifold ill be cutting and modifying) with some kind of resin to keep the size down in some sections.

the ports will not be hogged out, but i may open up the 'bottle neck' section described earler in order to keep the X area somewhat constant - this is a long way from the valve bowl though - so wont stuff around with velocities too much right up behind the valve. short of cleaning up the short side radius and the bowl transition, (and other casting dags and machine edges) i think ill be leaving the inlet reasonably alone.

as for harmonics - two things seem important, length and dia

length is as discussed, and still debatable (hehehe - would you use the open pipe harmonic formula, or the 'one end open, the other closed' formula?? both situations exist with the valve opening and closing!! where do you want the node!!??)

the other question is - would it be an idea to place the throtle plate at the position of the middle node?? i think it would! for the tuned rpm i think it would have some impact - albiet a minor one! but it all counts (if not just in my anal mind!)

now dia seems to be the BIGGEST factor, formula one designs refer to it over and over (more so than length) yet i can find SFA real data on it. i found the odd calculator, and the outputs make sense to me... but i hate blindly following a bunch of numbers. thoughts?

phew...
