So what you are saying is better air flow with a bell mouth will increase milage because more air is sneaking past unmetered? Also I'd like to note, I know alot of the N/A Honda racer dudes are big on the helmshold chamber or "whale penis" intake because of how effecieantly it pressureises the air and forces it In or something like that. But if we are talking about intake flow then wouldn't exhaust flow help as well? Because right now the way I'm doing it is. An this is what I've understood through other things I've read on here. That with fuel injected cars it doesn't matter how much flow you have because we are hardly sucking any air in to begin with and if we can slow down the flow than we can slow down the need for the Ecu to make its mixture more thursty. I'm not sure I'd really like the truth here. I know for a fact that bigger intakes and having a clean filter for that matter, increase power and throttle response but i have no idea on the truth of them increasing milage.
