Four Inch Intake Tube.....too BIG? I have a 6 spd ls6 with exhaust only. Is a 4 inch intake tube too big? remember, we have that 90* bent tube (its not facing forward (ram air) like most f bodies and vettes and stuff) so that might be a factor. Just wondering, is a 4 inch intake tube too big....as in I could lose power/torque. Thanks....
BTW since I installed it, my midrange ( half throttle) seems better....

alright. mines 78mm tho......4 inches=101.6 mm is much greater than 78 mm
seems like I may benefit even more from the 4 inch if I upgrade to a 90mm setup, and vice versa it seems like a 90mm setup would benefit from a 4 inch intake tube

I was about to run a 3.5" tube until I read this post. My new Granetelli MAF sensor is 3.5"
Should I run 4" to the MAF, step down and back up to 4" with silicone couplers ?
I plan to pick up cold air on the backside of the grill of my 69 Camaro.
Any advise is appreciated.

I really doubt it will be a world of difference either way. But get as much air to the TB as you can.
If a TB flows 100 cfm, and the tube flows 125 cfm, then youre ok, the TB is getting more than enough air to maintain capacity. What you dont want is a TB flowing 100 cfm on a motor that only needs 75 cfm.
(I know the numbers are not accurate, I just picked them for simple math purposes)
