Oh, 2" is probably plenty big for most of our little engines. Even my V8s have smaller than 2" intake tracts. And an electric motor can probably freewheel just about as easily as a plain shaft on bearings, steady-state. So other than the inertial lag, having the dumb thing sitting there spinning- powered or not- probably isn't restricting the intake much. Besides, the engine doesn't know any better where restriction comes from so if there is some, opening the throttle a bit more will compensate.
