ok call me crazy but hear me out...i've always seen people say 3" flows more than even dual 2.5" pipes (odd to me cause you'd think 2.5x2=5" which is more than 3") well 20 years later i decided to test that. i punched in 2.5" pipe at a velocity of idk 5 feet per second (sounds right maybe) and out comes whatever value you want to view. lets go with cubic/inch per second; i get 294.5. well times 2 and we get 588 cubic/inch per second.
now 3" pipe is only 424.1. so if im not wrong what people have always said is wrong. the NA Z not having a lot of power really maybe all these 2.5" dual CBE's are hurting us cause the openess is to great and the scavaging sucks. maybe this CBE does add good power because the smaller flow rate is keeping the scavaging up better.
am i crazy?
