Yes. In the proper application, vortexes, boundary layers, laminar flow, &c are an important part of what a VS does. But just sticking one on the end of an intake will more than likely not have any...

I just don't see velocity stacks doing much good. The longer/bigger the intake/manifold system is, the less good velocity stacks do. If they were mounted mani->TB->MAF->VS, without all the duct work,...

Not true. We now know that velocity stacks in the air box won't do much good. ;)

Thanks for sharing the experience. It was an interesting journey. :tiphat:

The portion of the airflow that is to the right of the stack in your pics doesn't look like it will have a straight shot to the stack unless the stack is a lot shorter. Can you cut the stack to make...

The stacks shown in the second pic of the OP look like they might do some good. What you show in your last sets of pics looks like it would interfere with the flow. But I'm not an Aerodynamics...

While I applaud your efforts and don't want to discourage you, I don't think that setup is going to do any good and may decrease performance. You are increasing the length of the "restricted" section...

When you have a restriction, the velocity goes up but the flow goes down. It's moving faster but has a smaller hole to go through.

As long as you don't change the duct size at the sensor (plus a...

The increase in velocity due to a narrowing of the duct doesn't do you any good. The velocity decreases as soon as the duct gets bigger again. It will actually reduce the flow.

Since the sensor is...

Ah. I took a closer look at your pic and what I thought was a plastic "grille" was just reinforcements molded into the case. Doh!

I still don't see you getting much out of a velocity stack. I can...

First link is broken. Delete the "\" from the end of the URL and it works. (Fixed in the quote above)

Shirley there is a page out there with the formula(s) you need to design/select this thing right. I found several pages with formulas for the length of a stack connected directly to the carb...
