A long time ago there was a link here somewhere to a site that explained the theory behind the TPI intake and the Long Tube Runners and the pulse it creates to boost low end torque. I have been searching all over for this and now luck. Anyone out there have a link to it?

Thanks

 

I believe the theory is all about the volume amount that helps to create such good low end torque.

 

I understand how it works, Im just looking for that article or link to show to someone outside of this forum that doesnt get it.

 

There is some info in this thread, maybe not what you are looking for though.

Aftermarket TPI Intakes?

 

Here's a few links that may help
All come under the general topic of resonance tuning.

Thanks, Thats exacly what I was looking for.

 

This was a good thread too.

Though I am still looking for cheaper copies of those books.
