CobraSix, if you back up a few posts...7 I think, I did say I was going to leave the carb mounted at the manifold :roll:
We're all getting older CobraSix...have you gone to the STS website and listened to any of those videos...there are a few great twin turbo and single turbo cars with no muffler...they're actually quieter then a 40 series flowmaster, even under boost...in my opinion.
The bottle theory is a no brain'r...duh..I way only using it as an example to show that objects take up space...I wasn't trying to win a Nobel prize and compare bottle space VS another...and yes my example had flaws in it as is did not have any resistance(turbo)...but my point was to prove that the length of pipe I was going to use wouldn't make any difference...I wasn't going into the whole fluid dynamics and kinetic energy thing as I'm not a physicists...I just made a simple example.
I appreciate the fact that there are many here who understand the laws of physics or have an engineers degree in thermodynamics...or what ever the case may be...I think backwards if you will...if someone tells me that it can't be done, then I'll try to prove them wrong, degree or no degree...it's what makes us human and different...and I have always been different...all the rodders on my block have supped up Chevy street rods...I'm the only Ford guy here, and to be different I have a supped up six and now to be even more unique, I'm going to mount my turbo in the back of my Ranchero...it is something that I have been meaning to do for some time...in fact, I think I thought of it long before STS started their business...I'm just the little guy with no research funds
CobraSix, I appreciate your input as this is what drives interest among these threads...as knowledge is shared and viewed by many interested parties...I am among the few, well, I think I am the only one here and a couple of others who believes in the STS layout...there are many here are skeptical whether or not I'm just wasting my time...as I have read many posts here on this forum, I see a good percentage of them proven to work despite the negative feedback...I'm not saying it's wrong, it's just human.
