If you're cruising with your TPS between 15% and 20% then the actual cross section area of the air tube you need is very small. Unless you need to make full power at WOT, then you do not have a problem there with size.
Thanks. That makes sense.

That's what I will do in the end with the WAI portion again. This was just for proof of concept.

Agreed, but I don't have much in terms of skills and experience yet. I'm getting there. Out of curiostiy and for future reference, what hardware would you use for such a build?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
