If you don't mind me asking why would short intakes be losing more power than, I'm assuming the opposite, longer intakes?

I came from a Mini Cooper S background, and I changed my intake to a shorter ram one from a tuning house called M7, and the gains were quite noticeable. Plus the scream from the Eaton supercharger was greatly enhanced as well!

My opinion is that it seems more logical that a shorter intake will make more gains as opposed to longer, as it'd take less time for the air to travel from the filter to the throttle body.

I'm just wondering and am open to anyone's opinions and discussions!
