Hi folks. I'm back from being banned for making obnoxious comments about other members' cars/intelligence/sexual proclivities. I'm hoping to limit my drunk posting and prevent my annual ban in the future.

To clarify my previous comments on airbox design please read up on Helmholtz resonators and then find information on snorkel length/width. The object is to take advantage of momentum of the air entering the airbox to help pull in more air. There are optimum velocities to obtain in the snorkel to maximize average pressure inside the airbox. Unless the airbox in the picture I commented on has an internal tube much smaller than the outside diameter shown, that airbox has left horsepower on the table.

No winning team gets everything right. They just get less things wrong than their competition.
