Good to know. Will keep the chat to the kiatalk area. Seems most of this convo has been tech though, as far as the snorkle and air pockets go. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It has. Thanks jimmybjames for the analagy. But guys, talking about chit chat, is chit chat. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

Even if the diameter is the same (2") there is such thing as pressure drop within the tube especially if it's long. I don't know enough to give you the physics equation but I know some car tuners will eliminate small-diameter intake snorkels or use larger diameter tubes. Just a thought. Seems to me like if the intake plenum area is 2" you should be using something a big larger than that for the snorkel just to make sure you don't get any restriction.

On the other hand, it's probably fine the way it is, if you didn't feel any power loss. It's a pretty small displacement engine after all.
