Now
if the tubes were cut down so the IN600's overall
height was made as low as it could 'easily' be made
its overall height from this point would be around
16"
You can carry on and go shorter
than 16" by useing staggered tube
lengths, probably to around 15", but the absolute Shortest the IN600
can ever be made is with even tubes and is 14 5/8" (requires careful
trimming of ram tube tops where they converge as the tubes are lowered)
The above way of measuring things up is the most accurate way of figuring
the installed height when there might be a height restriction or a hood
or whatever in the way.
You should be able to get a get a pretty accurate measurement doing it
this way
SHIPPED WITH A 2 1/2" HIGH AIR FILTER ELEMENT
You can change air fiter element heights inside the
IN600 when installing, you can go to a lower 2" filter element if your intake manifold
carb pad is a up around the 5 1/2", or even a taller 3" element
which can be more desirable in larger engines but you will need a manifold
lower carb pad height of around 4 1/2" or below, this option can
also be used in the installation to compensate for different carb pad
heights on the many different manifolds but REMEMBER AIR FILTER HEIGHT
DIFFERENCES WILL NOT CHANGE THE actual OVERALL HEIGHT OF UNIT.
HEIGHT OF IN600 ABOVE CARBURETOR NECK
Below is the height of the unit above the carburetor neck (where an air
filter would normally sit on) with a 2 1/2" filter installed (as
shipped). This measurement is not necessarily the height that you can
determine for the finished installation through the hood because in some
installations you may have to put a spacer under the carburetor to raise
it during the installation if your manifold has a low carburetor pad
height. Measuring
IN600 installed height 'section above' is better for determining
finished installed height
From
Carburetor neck to top of IN600 with 'even tubes'
13 1/2"
From
Carburetor neck to top of IN600 with 'staggered tubes'
15"
MEASURING FROM CENTER OF CARB TO FRONT AND BACK
When
the StreetInduction is
mounted onto the carburetor
The basic measurement from the center of the carburetor to the front
of the base is approximately 7".
The basic measurement
from the center of
the carburetor to
the back of the base
is approximately
8".
These measurements are taken at the lower part of the StreetInduction base
area.
THE
TUBES ARE:
2 1/2" Diameter Aluminum
Long tubes 7 5/8"
Short
tubes 5 7/8"
*
Shortest that tubes could physically
be cut to - 3"
With the ram tube tops on they are
Long tubes 10"
Short tubes 8 1/2"
Tubes then insert into induction body 1", so their effective length
sticking out, with the ram tube tops, is 9 3/4" for the long tube,
and 7 1/2" for the short tube.
STAGGERED OR EVEN TUBE ARRANGEMENT
The
tube lengths as supplied with the StreetInduction are 4 long and 4 short,
If you want to run an even system you just cut the 4 long ones down to
the same length as the short ones.
If
you have already decided that you want to run an 'even tube' setup let
me know and I will ship it this way so you don't have to do the cutting.
If
you are undecided, you can leave the unit to be shipped with the 4 longs
and 4 shorts and then when you get it you can put the 4 short tubes in
the front and have a look and see if you like it like that.
The
ram tube tops just slip on nicely so you can play around with the desired
height and once you have decided on finished height, you then use clear
silicone to fix them permanently to the tubes.
Don't
forget to spend the time to carefully wipe the tubes clean from excess
silicone and finally use a solvent to fully finish clean things up.
