Runner length and diameter are also important. To get the performance I wanted at a streetable rpm with this setup the runners had to be WAY too long, so I compromised and went with what looks good. Instead of smarting off like, "Seriously???" why not suggest a cam profile. Its easy to be an internet expert, but I'll probably still go with the professionals that work at Ingelese and do inductions systems like this all the time and have been for years. Or maybe just stick with bike engines if you're good at it. The stacks are only part of the harmonics equation. Runner length and diameter are also important.

To sacrifice cam overlap and therefore hp just not to get sprayed? Sounds like a bandaid to me. I'm a motorcycle engine builder and I'll tell you that those stacks will only resonate correctly at a rpm waaaaaay higher than you'll ever rap that 2.3 out to. Meaning..... go with longer stacks, there will be no screwing with harmonics because your stacks are way off in the first place and the benefit is you wont get sprayed. seriously???

I've heard the same thing. The additives for normal oil are pricey too. I have a friend who sells Amsoil. Gonna check on that. I have it in my daily now. $40 for oil and filter, but it's good for 25,000 miles! Thanks Jeff. I’ve heard the same thing. The additives for normal oil are pricey too.

I wonder if the cam builders are gonna start selling more cams treated or adapted for these new oils? I just spent $50 on some zinc additive for my cars. Interesting info.
