Not sure if N/A and turbo intakes are different, but for this discussion set's assume that we are building a N/A car that will compete in time trial races. That means that we have to maximize performance throughout the RPM range.
Some time ago i had in idea for a manifold that was built similar to a equal-length exhaust header and in such a way that air gradually turns from throttle body into the runners and into the engine. In that configuration air does not have to make that sharp 90 degree turn into runners as with standard design. (see design here)
Are there any other possibilities other than stock?
And what would be a good way to make them adjustable on-the-go so to produce best results throughout the RPM range?
And what about everything that is before the throttle body? It it important, or does it not matter as long as the air is clean and measured?
