intake tuning

[Todd King]

  <<<
  How important is intake tuning on a forced-induction motor?  In
  particular, for a centrifugal supercharger which really isn't producing
  any boost low in the RPM range, wouldn't it be advantageous to use an
  intake manifold with longer runners to boost low-rpm torque and since the
  ramming/tuning effect is potentially "useless" at higher rpm because the
  supercharger is forcing air down the runners?

  Forcing air down the runners- that's how air always gets into the cylinders,  
  whether it's the atmosphere doing the pushing or a blower. The only difference 
  between them is the pressure level. Ram effects hold in either case. Think in 
  terms of absolute pressure, not gauge pressure...
