Ram pipe
Anyone fitted a short ram pipe inside a air filter housing and at the opening of a cold air intake on a Stromberg or SU? Any benefits in doing so to report?

Velocity stacks / ram pipes have been fitted (if you can get them to 'fit' in the filter housing). Can't advise on the quantifiable benefits.

The one I have is 36mm deep and filter is 81mm deep. The alternative is a spacer between carb and filter housing with a internal taper.

B; I can't say anything definite about that setup, because so far it is only on my "Training Carb" (an HS6 mounted on a wooden pedestal and used for demonstrations)...but it seems to me to be a nice configuration (actually not optimal, see response to 142Gs comment below!), and it is functionally quite similar to the Air Filter over VStacks arrangement in my 1800, which I have never felt was wanting for breathing!
142G; I totally agree, and when I did a quick calculation of cross-sectional area comparing stack orifice to the band between end of stack and cover, I found the area to be less than orifice area...that wont do at all!! I have another configuration in the works...stay tuned! Cheers |

I have read the minimum recommended gap is 1 1/2”.
