also, tuning the intake ONLY works at WOT. Do you need more power at a lower RPM?
And you can get second and third harmonics to work as well.

I'm trying to get the highest efficiency at cruise rpm which would often be 25% throttle so there is some disruption at 4 inches from the valves. But it would also be nice in competition to lower the first torque peak from the current 6,000 rpm and get the most efficiency for 90% load pulse and glide either side of 6,000 as opposed to the power band from 6,000 to 8,700 as it is now. I can also play with the cam timing as the gears are taper fit and can be timed anywhere. Shaving the head to raise compression from the stock 10.7:1 is also not out of the picture eventually. Will a closed pipe have a second harmonic or only odd order harmonics of 1,3,5?
