Intake Q's

Apparently the longer the intake the more torque you get and the shorter the more horsepower. Talking about cold air intakes not manifolds. But does anyone know if this is true?

Before the TB lenglth matters very little, only sheer flow numbers.

Reinterating the your thinking/talking about the intake runner design.
