Funny you use the V8 example, that’s where my mind draws the plenum “theory” from. Different air pump but still a pump. Thanks Doc, as always I learn a lot from youTough to say.
The plenum does come to mind, so does air and fluid flow dynamics. Also, vacuum flow and pressure flow are different.
On a V8 Big Block Rectangular port Chevy, would anyone in their right mind make the intake manifold area the same size as the carb venturis? Never.
There's a balance that occurs and where that lies is the mystery.
Sometimes it's clear by theory, and at other times we stumble upon it by accident and scratch our heads.
