I hope that I did not send a message to the effect that you should modify the snorkel. I simply stated that while I had the intake system apart, I had noticed that the snorkel appeared to be restrictive when compared to the rest of the intake system. I elected to only do away with the heat stove portion of the air cleaner, and not modify the snorkel. I'm not a trained person in the field of fluid dynamics, but it seem to be pure common sense that a restriction of that magnitude would impede performance. I understand that harmonics and pressure wave length and a venturi effect also comes into play. For me, it was enough for those who are far more conversant in the lore of the Brick to say leave it alone. I haven't checked my 0-60 time since I modified the heat flapper on mine (don't have an hourglass). I was not looking to improve the performance at any rate, I was just trying to not kill off another expensive AMM sensor.
