Re: [T3] too much mind time (runner lengths)

["Erkson, Toby" <toby.erkson@intel.com>]

To further complicate things, isn't runner length only good for a certain
rpm range?  I believe the longer the runner, the more of a boost in low-end
torque will be given to the engine (within limits, of course) whereas a
short runner will benefit higher rpm's.  Plenum size I'm not sure about but
a large one is nice for that 'reserve' of air when the throttle gets mashed
:)

I've only read a little about this phenomena and I really need to read more
as I'd like to build my own self-tuning system like some modern cars
have...soon as I get my other 'wanna-doos' done ;)
