Dave....You are on the right path my friend. Simple evaluation of basic airflow is something most Snake owners don't ever consider. They are so obsessed with being "original" that any change is considered heresy. You might install a set of air/fuel ratio gauges in your pipes to start with. A simple change you might try is to reverse the direction of the hood scoop. There's more air pressure at the base of the windscreen than out on the middle of the hood's surface. (a simple manometer test will prove that) Don't be afraid to go against the majority's opinions....there's little knowledge there..only monkey see monkey do. Badger
