Default Velocity stacks

I reckon that it might be worth a couple of hundred rpm if adjusted for proper tuned length. A velocity stack smooths the flow of air entering the carb and can also provide a stronger "sonic" ram effect. Not practical on engines with the carb sticking out the side of the cylinder, but fine for the rear carb motors. I calculate a 7 inch length intake track should tune it for a boost at 6500 rpm.
