Julian, at the end of the
second part of the article, there is a graph of acceleration vs rpm for the standard and the new intake.
Do you have any idea why acceleration wasn't better through the whole rpm scale, but was actually worse below 1500 and above 4000rpm, even though the pressure drop was greatly reduced? Would this imply that just swapping the intake for something larger would harm performance and/or fuel economy when the driver's style keeps rpms between 1000 and 2000?
