Smoothed airbox - biggest cold air feed size?

...look on the forge website for a vid of one collapsing on a rolling road! also its smoother internally which will help ever so slightly for better airflow i guess

James is your car the one that was at the pvw 1/4 mile thing a few weeks back and in pvw this month?

Nice looking car if it is!

 

[J@mes]

yep it is


ignore the times tho (apart from top speed over the 1.75 mile stretch!)... **** traction there... 1/4 mile times... 13.8 @ pod and 14.7 @ bruntingthorpe

James I've seen that video before and as a result thought it was worth checking with you. Sounds like the smoothing down job is all about preparation - get the right tools and save yourself some time and keep the skin on your fingers

I'll let you know how you get on. I need to order the bits of bill now...

Sorry if this is a very silly Question But

What is the point of smoothing it down?

to make the box less restrictive so to speak... with smoother internals it will help more air to be sucked in slightly quicker!

well thats my thoughts!
