Not sure where the NEED for larger inlet pipe is coming from. Is this a street combo or all out drag racing? For a street combo to cruise around, no need for a inlet pipe that large. If all you are looking for is the wow factor when you pop the hood at show or local coffee shop and don't care how it performs, have at it, go for the big stuff.Its only a 3 inch opening....I need to run at least 3 1/2 -4 inch inlet air intake pipe
Well.."mainly" street..I will take it to the track once to get a number just to see what it will do. Definitely not built to race. It may be a little extreme for the purpose of why I built it, travel and pull my street glide on a small trailer if the boss lady goes with me. Its in a little ranger. I wont be attending any car shows or popping the hood. Just want to make sure I have no restrictions..and thanks for your help by the wayNot sure where the NEED for larger inlet pipe is coming from.

Remember... at 6000 RPM a stock 302 will only pull 525 cfm (its just math). A 76mm MAF can outflow those numbers at least 1.5x (somewhere on the internet is a chart of what different size MAF's can flow - I just can't find it now).
Only place big flow numbers are needed is high in RPM band, otherwise you are probably hurting street manners.
I feel a ct in there somewhere.Stock explorer computer, dyno tunedand loading the tunes with a SCT tuner.
Like I was saying, just making sure I dint bottle neck the air inlet and the maf being there. It

ported tb, flows like a 75mm.. just trying to get it all right before it gets tuned. I have a 76mm bbk.. can buy an 80 pro m..
Its between the 75mm and 75mm race
4 digits
I read you loud and clear.. and I appreciate your input.. illupdate once its tuned..THANKSYou will not have a bottle neck at the MAF. As I said above, the engine will physically pull 525 cfm at 6000 RPM. Looking at the chart above, you could have a 70mm MAF and not be a bottle neck for the engine.
Don't forget, just because a flow bench tells you a CFM rate an intake or heads can deliver, it does not mean you engine will use that much (or even can use that much).
I would love to see dyno numbers for the completed package. Best of luck.
You'll know when it happens
Well I'd like to know before it happens so I can prevent it
