I see your point. Does anyone have access top a reed cage from, say, a
500cc motocrosser? That should flow enough air for the 60+ horsepower it
produces. Is it too big to fit nicely into a typical intake port? Say an
eight-cylinder engine, so eight times 60 = 480 horse capacity. It seems
too simple to me, maybe somebody can help me out here?
I understand that flow through a two-stroke engine cannot be compared
directly to that of a four-stroke, but am too lazy to do the figuring and
figured I'd offer this to the group as fodder...
