Plus you just saying "Where the hell..." doesn't make me want to believe you or respect you.
don't forget that dcoe carbs don't need wrap around runners to work - look at the lake cities manifold, technically that should give a higher hp than an ida setup.

Don't forget the nice TWM intake either. Both Lake Cities and TWM came straight off the side of the rotary. Short intake runners, little torque gain but hella high-end horsepower.

do you really think that ducting is better than free air? I tried the the IDA dual cold air intake from Aussie. It suck!!!! Replaced the hoses to larger ones. It still suck!!!. So I ended up JUNKING THAT POS COLD AIR INTAKE.
What you can do is make a plenum which is larger than the air cleaner, then run ducts from the front. However, due to limited space between the straight-thru carb and the passenger side strut housing, you will need to smoke some weed to be real creative.

There was more square filter area, so less restriction, plus the cone filters were in a good spot. Not only did it make better power, but quieted the engine noise by nearly 50%.

Sorry to get back off topic again, but I figure that anybody who's thought about trying to drift on public roads should watch this first

Thank you for politely correcting me.

yeah how do you boost prep the dcoe's? I have looked here and all over the net and cannot find a thing. Nothing of a real "how to" guide at all. The holleys you can find them all day long.

We got it from aussie but cant remember the site and I cant locate our pix. I agree, it was so quiet that we cant even hear the throaty IDA; however, as I mentioned, I noticed a loss in power. During earlier Sevenstock, I saw a P-Port with similar set up as yours except the top open. I have been wanting to make a similar plenum except I cant find the time and when I have the time, I always forget.
