Abstract:
1. A method for maximizing internal combustion engine horsepower for a preselected RPM range, said method comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of individual velocity stacks for an air box portion of the internal combustion engine; providing means for removably and independently securing said individual velocity stacks to the air box portion while the air box portion is secured to the internal combustion engine, said securing means being deformable to prevent air leakage and to promote quick replacement of said individual velocity stacks; measuring power generated by the internal combustion engine for the preselected RPM range with a selected set of individual velocity stacks removably secured to the air box portion; providing a plurality of replacement individual velocity stacks for the air box portion of the internal combustion engine; replacing selected individual velocity stacks with selected individual replacement velocity stacks via said securing means while the air box portion is secured to the internal combustion engine; and measuring power generated by the internal combustion engine for the preselected RPM range with replacement individual velocity stacks removably secured to the air box portion, whereby the measured power corresponding to said selected set of individual velocity stacks is ultimately compared to measured power corresponding to said replacement individual velocity stacks, whereupon, velocity stacks that promote maximum internal combustion engine horsepower for the preselected RPM range are ultimately selected and secured to the air box portion, while secured to the internal combustion engine.
