Using a larger radius, like 3/4", broadens out the resonant pressure wave rpm range, but the compression boosting pressure wave is greatly diminished and almost unnoticed by the engine. In the real world, on high-rpm IR IC engine, using a minimum amount of inlet radius gives the best wave strength and a power boost of 2% to 4% over a 3000 to 3500 rpm range.

Because the greatest losses to flow occur near the valve seat, actual overall gain from any improvement of the entry flow would be much less. This means that total engine airflow would not increase by the amount suggested by these figures, which apply only to the entry alone, as the inlet end is never the smallest or most restrictive part of the system. There is always some attempt to provide some radius at the entry. In practice these latter types of entry are never used for engine intakes. The flow coefficient of a perfect entry would be 1.0 while the coefficient for a sharp edged entry would be 0.6 and a re-entrant plain pipe 0.5. The acceleration of air flow into a duct is inherently a highly efficient process and the difference between even the crudest radius inlet, and the most aerodynamic shape possible is slight, amounting to no more than a few percent. A longer inlet pipe will create a later intake pressure wave that will help keep the air in the chamber until the intake valve closes.ĭetailed velocity stack working principle

It features a full flow 6 inlet and a true 4.5 outlet. However, it is actually that the intake valve is closing too late and the combustion chamber is simply overfilling and blowing back out the intake port, before the intake valve closes. velocity stack we use in our CTS-V and Chevy SS cold air intake systems. It is commonly related that "stand off" (air–fuel mix that gets pushed back out of the port, usually at full throttle / low rpm) is somehow captured by installing a longer intake pipe (stack). Most current aftermarket stacks are designed to be run "in" the airbox and a company that does research well will have some applications that have all the same length and some applications that have differing lengths of stacks on different cylinders. The length of the stack is known to have a direct effect on a particular engine's boosted power range. Modified engines often have the original air box and associated ducting removed and velocity stacks are installed as accessories.
Allow smooth and even entry of air at high velocities into the intake tract with the flow stream adhering to the pipe walls known as laminar flow.Illustration of the velocity stack principle
