    Kind of depends on the duct size and how may CFM it will flow... Heck, 90% of the new cars run a small duct from the air box to the engine.....

    Spectre is the only brand I have seen that sells a plenum system for a carb.If there is something better that I can use from the carb to the air box ,I am open to any suggestion that you have.and any ideas on air flow. phil the geez

    I tried to figure out the airflow on a 3" tube....never really found anything that gave me a definitive number....anxious to hear if you do better....
