A buddy of mine that builds a lot of race engines done a really cool study on a BBC, Torker, performer and air gap edel intakes.
The torker made the most peak hp but the curve was so low the air gap produced better overall numbers. The performer produced issues from 0-2500 rpms like a turbulance but above was almost the same as the air gap. He look at an old racers trick of milling the center divider down on the performer, he decided to do that and the gains were great. It stopped the problem, he picked up 25 hp on a 385 hp engine. it matched the air gap hp and the torker peak hp.
has anyone done this?
