nope..


and the effect of those bolts on flow is really negligible compared to total area..  because the backing metal horizontal surface is bigger

So you are saying there is an effect on air-flow.

So, you are agreeing with me, whilst being a pedant.

Ner ner ner ner ner!  ;D


every shape change on the flow path of a fluid will effect its flow obviously.. however, those calculations are tedious and complex so some simulators or a wind tunnel model is used mostly.. so , its not that easy to look and have a guess at flow types..  ::)

Has anyone else read David Vizard's book on tuning Mini engines? He flow tested a 1.5"SU carb with just those modifications in the diagram, and gained nearly 10cfm, from a starting point of 143cfm which is a sizable improvement for such a simple mod. Threadlock on the screws was recommended!

Just buy a car, after a test drive, of course, take it home and use it. Don't fiddle with it's screws or owt, just drive it. If you want a faster car, buy one. :y
