The snorkel also has what everyone calls a drip tray. I call it an air deflector and think it is designed to direct air into the snork and air box.
It was enough different that you could measure it with a STOPWATCH!?

Jaykay, with respect man, I'm not sure how a guy would do that with any measure of repeatability / accuracy.

I'll give ya the credit though, because what you've done with that stopwatch is more than what I'VE done to try to measure throttle response.... which is nothing. ;-)

Your idea of reducing the size of the intake "pipe" is also counter to conventional wisdom. Again: i haven't tried it, but I'm sure having a hard time imagining improvement from this. Velocity is great, but not if you can't get the volume. That's the whole POINT behind the larger tb.
