my thinking goes in the direction of remote air filter… somewhere in the right side down low… just have a bump for the turn into the carburetor with 5” tube..and get larger in diameter once the crap is cleared… pretty much like injected engines carry the air.. it’s just the turn into the carb that has to be well thought out!
Side effect.. colder air intake!!!
For EFI the long hose isn't significant. For carbs it is.
It is as if there is some sort of "coefficient of friction" kind of factor on the tube that makes the length of the tube restrictive at some point.
You get as much cold air into the engine compartment as anything else by using the "sugar scoop" on the decklid.
That was an idea developed over at Ferrari, happens to work, and was "stolen" by Detomaso.
Form follows function even if you don't like the looks. Everyone's a critic. Not every song is played the way you would do it, but you listen to it anyway?
